Your thoughts on bonding this gas pipe

[uksparks]

Hi,

Nice easy one, I have a gas pipe, its metal, but painted, no supply to properly, its just capped, but live.

As for bonding, what would you do? Just sand some paint off and bung a clamp on it? That's my thoughts, whats yours? I know you are meant to only put it supply side, but there isn't one.

Surely it is irrelevant if there is a meter fitted or not! if you test it and it needs bonding then you bond it.

yeah..

its what i`v been chuffin sayin all along....

I can't believe how much of a deal you are all making out of this, we'll I can actually.

i only asked what you would do with regard to sanding a bit of paint off the pipe, I've already established in going to bond it, I just wondered if anyone else had a better suggestion...

alrite...scrape the paint off instead with a blunt knife...

look..its up to you how you remove the paint but....

Yup if it's extraneous it's extraneous end of

You know that strip of emery cloth which comes with scotchcast joints, the one you keep cos it might come in handy one day. Well you put it around the painted pipe and pull it back and forth until the pipe is all nice nd shiny

Unless it's conductive paint. You could get an extra bit of pipe added on top if you didn't want to mess up the paint job!!

Blowlamp, burn the paint off.

Before you startshouting, think about it.

 

[davesparks]

I've broken my blowlamp, will the gas axe be ok instead?

Thought about it. Blow lamp on a live gas pipe. Not the smartest of moves.

If that's the case a quick look would blister the paint in no time.

 

[davesparks]

Maybe not, but it's an iron pipe, the gas is on the inside and the flame is on the outside. I don't think too much would happen if you tried it.

I said think about it.

Something you don't seem able to do.
