House I'm working on has water and gas bonded on same 10 mm green and yellow cable. It loops from the water to the gas. Is this acceptable or a code 3?
 
It all depends,if its a continuous piece and is unbroken from end to end then its fine, if it has been cut to loop from the gas to water then it isn't.that's assuming you're not testing on behalf of BG in which case it's a fail either way lol.
I'm not kidding either,when I did some subcontract for BG I had a few that had been failed for one cable bonding both gas and water,it seems they make up their own rules to grab more cash.
 
"Technically", there's no reg saying it "has" to be one length, but GN8 says it should be.
Remember, to carry out testing and inspection, you should have "in-depth" knowledge of installations, regulations and best-practice. We seems to have a lot of guys these days who really don't seem sure about anything.

Well that's just like I used to be before I became indecisive.

Although the gas pipe may no longer require the bonding, it should really be terminated correctly or completely disconnected at the other end...
