[QUOTE="ADS, post: 287397, member: 7231"] If the pipe that re-enters the building is 'extraneous', then it requires 'bonding' - from where it re-enters the building, back to the MET. We're not making mountains out of molehills, it's the Regs............I work to the Regs, does anyone else? I know exactly what the OP is talking about because I have a very similar situation in my house. The gas main comes up through the floor in the understairs cupboard. There, it connects to the meter. It's then 'bonded' on my side of the meter. It then 'T's off.......one section goes to feed my cooker and gas fire, the other section leaves the building through the wall, goes up the outside of the house, then re-enters into the back of a cupboard on the first floor, and connects to the boiler. Where my pipe re-enters, it is [B]not extraneous [/B]and therefore is [B]not bonded[/B].

[SIZE=8px][COLOR=#C0C0C0]---------- Post Auto-Merged at 23:38 ---------- Previous post was made at 23:34 ----------[/COLOR][/SIZE] I'm going to hazard a guess and say you're NICEIC - this has got to be one of their 'quirky' rules. :) [/QUOTE]
