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.

    a suitable crimper, not a lump hammer and chisel,


    Anderson dieless crimper is the American way of crimping where the tool crimps to 6 tons and stops as opposed to the method we use of fixed dimension dies and hope that the crimp tube wall thickness is compatible with the dies we're using. I use it for 12 V applications off road vehicles where it's handy to take 25 mm2 to the back of the vehicle and have a piece of 6 mm2 in the same tube terminal for a feed to mini fuse rack.


    As to hammer and chisel, best results that look almost professional are obtained with a blunt Rawlplug jumper and lump hammer..... Apparently.............
