Hi,
Our cooker is LPG, fitted on the inside of an outside wall if that makes sense. The gas pipe runs internally then through the wall to the regulator and changeover unit mounted outside, around 4' off the ground. The pipe doesn't go underground at any point.
My understanding is that it doesn't need bonding, the original gas fitter clearly agree as he marked it as "N/A" on the Gas Safety Certificate. However the guy that just did a service wasn't quite happy, he expected to see earth bonding and was a bit dubious.
So my questions are (1) am I correct that bonding isn't needed? And (2) assuming it's not needed, is there any issue with adding it anyway, just to keep any future gas fitter happy?
Thanks, Tony S
