Bonding to Gas and water am2

[Sylvia Namusisi]

Right that's war, actually it's not bad spelling, it's bad punctuation, can we please have a bad punctuation icon, for the pedants in the Forum? thanks is spelt thanks it's the apostrophe that's missing in thank's. So thank's for that, oh sorry, that should be a full stop.

This is very petty.If it is a mistake why make it the main point and divert from real material content?
You guys you have a lot of time on your hands.

Not petty at all how many posts have you tried to read with bad spelling and punctuation, and ended up with a migraine? By and By I have all the time in the world now I have been retired, after spending 55 plus years in this trade.

Good for you and enjoy your retirement by being picky.

You will fail am2 if using separate lengths in northern Ireland anyway I know that for a fact as our apprentice failed on that and only that. Use continuous lengh to be safe

So he failed for not following the design?

You are obviously someone who can read gibberish. We are not all as talented as you, can you please decipher the OP then? we are only mortals after all.

Yes he did indeed. Bit harsh I thought, nothing wrong with what he did really

Does seem a little harsh.

Sorry, that’s nonsense. Either individual conductors to gas and water, or one single, continuous conductor serving both.

That is what i meant you just seem not to have read what i was replying to.
Read it first and then disagree other than jumping on the band wagon

I am a pedant, so I am very tempted to jump in here right now, particularly as I like spelling and grammar to be correct, as also punctuation and the proper use of figures of speech, bearing in mind that additionally the use of a split infinitive should be avoided, always avoid aliteration and ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put!

Question:
I have a bit of bonding cable that goes from my water pipe, (ok, the house's pipe) then to the gas pipe and thereafter to the MET. It leaves the waterpipe, with its nice safety label intact, then gets attached to the gas pipe with another proper safety label, the bare conductor being wrapped round the screw, not cut, and finally to the MET. That, in my view is one continuous conductor.
However, if it is snipped at the gas pipe label, say a terminal is added, then the next run also has a terminal added, and both terminated ends are properly secured to the warning label, then finally the second length goes to the MET, then is that not also a continuous conductor? In effect, it is, surely?
In practice, it differs because undoing the midpoint temporarily then leaves the system unbonded, but if the bonding cable is not cut and joined at the gas pipe, removing that gas pipe label will leave the rest of the system intact. Now, I'm just trying to get my head round this, ok? It seems like terminology is causing confusion...continuous may be meant to mean one unbroken run, or maybe it means don't go wandering off popping short lengths into connectors and joining them up any old where?
I'm thinking that if the MET is in the "middle" of a house, and the gas comes in 10m away on one side, and the water 10m away in the other direction, then we have two things:
1. Quite a big house
2. A situation where it might be preferable for 2 separate bonding cables, one from each incoming supply, to the MET, each about 10m long, rather than running a 20m cable from one to the other then another 10m to the MET, which I would think would be awkward and more prone to damage, especially the 20m run.
Just my ramblings, and not those of a qualified person, however I am old enough to be shouted at, if required.
