Asking somebody if they've looked in the OSG or BGB is not ripping in to him.

There should be two earth bonds from the main earthing terminal they should be clamped to the water and gas supplys before any joints or tees & within 600mm of where they enter the property. Any further earthing between points in a domestic property should be no greater than 6mm. Hope this helps

Unless you bond from the MET to the water then the gas using a single length.

Within 600mm of point of entry or as close as practicably possible

As an aside, who bonds across compression fittings on copper pipes? And if so, what CSA?

Why do you need to?

Is the answer - nobody ?

How many properties have no cross bonding on the compression joints? Probably about the same amount that have compression joints. If you go down that road where does it end?

But we don't need to bond as we all have magical RCDs that cure all evils...

The last time I checked ..... Brass was a conductor!

I was under the impression we were talking about the plastic ones... Pushfits, no it all becomes clear, I'm not 100% on plumbing terminology as I can't think that simply... :lol:

 

[Rauer]

I was told by a previous employer ( and he had checked it with nic technical that it was ok in plastic up to a certain distance as it would conduct through the water

Don't shoot the messenger!

I was under the impresion he was working as a "professional". I think the comments are justified.

 

[Geoffsd]

We'll shoot NIC technical then. It's rubbish.
