Hi all,
I have had my gas meter moved from inside my house, to a semi concealed (the small, floor level brown box type) outside and at the front of my house.
The gas pipe that feeds my gas appliances comes stright through the wall into my kitchen, right under the kitchen sink.
My gas fitter has said that i need to fit an earth bond ".....within 500mm" of the gas meter.
So questions :
1 - Is this correct ?
2 - If so, presumably i can just attach an earth strap to the 22mm copper as soon as it comes through the kitchen wall ?
3 - Can i run this new earth just to where my main water feed comes in and clip onto that strap as its earth cable is brand new right back to the RCD ?
Thanks in advance all.
