Hi, went to have a look at a job today, customer has had gas supply company out (for another issue) and they have commented that the protective bonding conductor is the the wrong place and needs to be altered.
So gas meter is internal to property, on consumer side, about 200mm of pipework, which the has a 't' off and 2 pipes disappear below floor. Both copper. The bonding connection is attached to one of these pipes. Well within 600mm of meter outlet, but admittedly beyond a branch in the pipework. I may be able to pull some slack on the cable to attach further up, failing that would you, leave it alone? Crimp to extend the cable?
