Where to bond the gas ?

aligarjon

Hi guys.  After a bit of advice re bonding the gas main.  

Just first fixing an extension. Gas meter has been moved onto extension in a surface external box.  I think reasonable to assume incoming gas supply pipe is plastic although it's in a sleeve so you can't see it.  However the copper pipe that feeds into the property goes out of the bottom of the box and due to ground levels disappears below ground before appearing in the property.  My thoughts are to bond it where it enters the property and not to do it at the meter at all, that makes sense to me or should it also be bonded at the meter ( which I don't think to be correct  but don't want a gas fitter coming along later telling me he wants a bond there which seems pointless  ). Any thoughts please.

    I'd bond just inside the building - as BS 7671 says.

    I have been known to stick a label next to the external gas meter saying the bonding is present and internal to the building, but that's as far as I go to head off confused gas fitters. If they want something beyond BS 7671 they can do it themselves.
