Gas pipe insert

This extract from ER G12/issue 4 Amd 12015. Is it common practice for a gas pipe to have a insulated insert? Certainly not here.

5.2 Earthing terminal

5.2.1 Provision of earth terminal

PME earth terminals can be offered to consumers unless there are reasonable grounds to believe either:

- their earthing installation is not designed to BS 7671.

- or

- the type of installation is not suitable for PME. (See Section 6 for examples where it may not be possible to provide a PME earth terminal).

Where a metallic gas service is provided to a consumer’s premises with a PME earth terminal, an insulated insert should be fitted in the gas service.

I believe it's pretty normal practice, Lyle - particularly on multiple residential units or similar, and on many single residential properties

Either where the pipeline is metallic, or where it's metallic and carries a polyethylene liner pipe - but (obviously) not where the pipe line is polyethylene

IGEM G5 covers the issue I believe, but I can't access the document from home
