earth gas

[eganelectrical]

Would you say it's ok to earth the gas at the gas meter from the earth block in the electric meter cupboard which is 1 meter away? Earth block I am fitting in there is to run earth to rod nearby. Seems silly coming from ccu to gas meter 15 meters away. TT system.

No. It must be bonded.

No. It must be bonded.

Might seem picky to some but the constant incorrect reference to bonding as 'earthing the pipes' is one of the reasons there's so much confusion.

Well I have to say the title of the thread - "earth gas" - confused me ....... I thought it was going to be something about Fracking.

(before I get accused of using bad language or hit with the ban stick, let me explain: Induced hydraulic fracturing or hydrofracturing, commonly known as fracing, fraccing, or frackling, is a technique used to release petroleum, natural gas (including shale gas, tight gas, and coal seam gas), or other substances for extraction.[SUP][1][/SUP] This type of fracturing creates fractures from a wellbore drilled into reservoir rock formations.)

Fracking - Swear word from BSG (God I'm such a nerd lol)

Yes, since we're being pedantic I would bond the pipe which the gas is supplied in rather than trying to bond the gas.

And just to confuse people even more we 'bond' back to the Main 'earthing' terminal but it is a 'bond' not an earth lol.

Aye ..... and there's still some mileage left in it yet - so long as it doesn't go too far off topic and get closed. :rolleyes2:
