I completely agree

Not often I hear that on here lol.......Whats your views on Ra values?......:tongue3:

 

[jumpin jax]

The same as your views on exporting pme:19:

There is actually no mention of stop-cocks in the regulation (544.1.2).

The reference to insulating sections and meters and 600mm. from meters before branches (water meters are usually outside) I read as referring to the gas supply.

Therefore, with water, I would bond where it emerges from the ground.

 

[scotsparky]

The regs say where it enters the installation for water and gass and other services. The meters are not part of the installation as they are deemed to be owned by the supply authority. Therefore its it s 600mm or where practicle on the installation side of the meter.

 

[Geoffsd]

Yes, but the thread is about water service and my point relates to whether the 600mm. applies to unmentioned (in the reg.) stop-cocks.

 

[telectrix]

" on the consumer's side of the service" refers to after the stop cock, IMO.

 

[SYKRAPS]

I agree within 600mm after the stop tap if possible.

What if as many properties do if there are 2 incoming stop taps................should you earth them both???????

If they are ECP's they should both be main bonded.

Having read this thread is the OP in a parallel (bonding) universe?
