Hello all, I'm having my gas meter moved from the inside of the house to the outside.
The current meter is aprox 5ft from floor level on the kitchen wall. The earth bond cable runs from floor level up to the meter and is clamped within 600mm on the consumer side of the meter.
The new meter will be on the outside wall and a new gas pipe will run from the meter back into the kitchen and connect back up to the existing services.
When I come to reattach the earth bond, am I right in thinking I can attach to the gas pipe INSIDE the kitchen, i.e point of entry to the building. As this is within the equipotential zone.
I understood the "within 600mm of the meter" rule to only apply if the meter is inside the building. But have read different opinion as to whether point of entry to be inside or outside the building.
