Gas pipe insert

lyledunn
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.

    Thanks OMS. As usual I have got it wrong. Just talked with my buddy’s son who works for the contractor responsible for the gas service network in NI. Everything below ground is polyethylene. There are some legacy connections that have steel pipes but they are scheduled for replacement or sleeving.
