Earth Bonding Gas & Water Pipes

AncientMariner
Assuming the copper water pipe (above the stop-cock at end of MDPE pipe) is close to the gas pipe, is it acceptable/permissible for the earth bonding conductor to be a single 10 mm² green/yellow from the consumer unit to go to say the water 351 earth clamp, looped around the screw and then to the gas 351?  This without cutting the cable, so that it is one continuous length. Or if not looped around the crew, for a bare section to be opened up 3 strands and 4 strands and the screw fitted between?
Thanks.
Clive

    Far too rough attempting to wind 10mm2 conductors round BS951 bonding clamp connection lugg.


    As rough as using a 25 mm2 cable lug on an A to D, possibly an A to E one Legh?

    Lol... 2 * 10mm2 muli-core singles stripped back into 25mm2 lug and crimped with a suitable crimper, not a lump hammer and chisel, then taped up using Grn/Y or a piece of amalgating tape works well. Winding the cores round a 6.0mm2 screw can be ripped out with a little encouragement.

    Legh.

    edit: multi-core = multi stranded
