Title: Gas bonding question?
Post by starflip on Jun 10^th, 2009, 12:48pm

At a property im working that needs main ex bonding doing, the gas meter is in the garage, which is seperated from the house (5m or so). So.. as you would normally take a 10mm from the met to as near the gas meter as possible, on this circumstance would you bond it within 600mm of it entering the house? any advice much appreciated.

I would bond it within 600mm of where it enters the property (main house)

I agree - bond at point of entry to house - externally if the internal pipework is concealed.

Use a blue clamp (damp environment).
