At the moment my house has no main protective bonding for the gas pipework despite being tncs.
I know ideally the clamp would go straight onto the hard pipework within 600mm of the meter and before any branches. But I’m not sure what the pipe from the meter is made of, maybe some coated iron? It looks like the pipe has been covered in a brown or black material and is flaking. I’m not convinced the bond would be sufficient.
The only nice bit of copper to clamp onto is a pipe feeding the boiler. But this is more than 600mm from the meter and after a couple of branches made with this same pipework.
Has anyone had experience with bonding this type of pipe before? I’ve always been lucky with plain newish copper!
