Hi all,
I want to earth the gas and water pipes to the CU and I'm looking at cable sizing. It would be good to do the work to regs and according to my literature it's 16mm2 but it seems that the 16mm2 can be brought down to 10mm2 in an earthing terminal block. Can I run the gas in 16mm2 into a terminal block below the floor joists and then 10mm2 thereafter into the CU? Or does everything need to be in 16mm2?
Is equipotential bonding now no longer a requirement ?
In the case of earthing the gas pipework, can the pipework on the opposite side of the brick wall that the meter is fitted to be sufficient? My literature says it needs to be within 600mm and as near as possible to where the pipes enter the building.
How is the cable fitted to an outside brick wall and how far apart do the clips need to be?
Does it matter if the cable is exposed to the weather?
Help appreciated.
