Gas Pipes.

Zoomup
Greetings all,

 why does reg. 543.2.3 prohibit the use of a gas pipe as a protective conductor? After all it can be main bonded and then carry substantial currents under certain conditions.

    543.2.3: gas pipe, oil pipe - they contain fuels; flexible materials, or parts subject to mechanical stress - these may fail.

    543.2.6 an ECP, for example a water pipe, may be used under certain circumstances.


    So the reason does appear to be the risk of fire, however remote.


    I might add that daughter's bonded (private) water supply provides a better earth than the conventional rod.
