    I'm adding a 30 amp RV outlet to the exterior of my house. The location I'd like to put the outlet happens to be near the gas main/meter. Are there any safety or code issues putting an outlet near the gas meter?

The pipe is in a position where it is liable to...

    Gas meter earth bonding

    When running the 10mm Main Protective bonding to the Gas in a semi recessed gas meter box, how do you enter the box with the cable? The reason I am asking is: 1) The pipe sleeve for the gas pipe can not contain the earth as it is not 25mm separation. (yes I know it will attach to the pipe...

    Proximity of gas meter to electric oven

    Anyone know how close a gas meter can be to an electric oven? Just see plans of a replacement kitchen where the oven is directly above the gas meter.... is it 300mm? The kitchen isn't very big and moving either the gas meter, or the oven could be tricky!
