If you're implying that that bracket results in electrical continuity across the meter (which it probably does), in electrical terms that's probably theoretically a bad thing - it would arguably be better if the inlet and outlet pipes of the meter were electrically insulated from one another.
Dont think it was best practice, but an actual regulation to do it that way
Just had a look at my copy of the 15th Edition and I can't find anything.
Would have been the 14th if anything, sure we were taught that at college, i dont think it was a myth.
Even today, there are some views/guidance's to that effect so, even if you were taught that at college, it doesn't necessarily mean that it was a requirements of regulations at the time.
I think the reasoning was that if other trades removed the meter or whatever the next bond was always maintained
Yes, that makes good sense. However, as said, I'm not by any means certain that it was ever an actual regulation.
