I appear to have a 10mm Earth Cable running from the CU and clamped to the Incoming Water Pipe just above the stop cock. So far, so good. However, neither the gas supply or oil supply are earthed.
The copper gas pipe feeding the cooker and a gas fire enters through the backwall of the kitchen from outside and is fed by two 47kg cylinders standing on slabs three or four metres away. A 'T' routes a second copper pipe around two sides of the house externally above ground level (except for a short distance where it is buried to allow a patio door to open) to a second fire.
The oil supply feeds the gravity hot water/pumped central heating system through copper pipe which also enters the boiler from through the backwall of the kitchen from outside and is fed from a plastic tank standing on slabs also a few metres away. The pipework exits the tank and is immediately buried a few inches deep for about two metres until it reaches the outside wall of the house. The boiler is linked to the central heating system and has electronic ignition.
Could someone please confirm that the gas and oil supplies need main bonding, or are any other earthing arrangement required for bottled gas or oil supplied from the plastic tank. Also, if bonding is required, is it notifiable?
