Routing main bonding alongside gas pipe

[QUOTE
Main bonding conductors should not be supported by the service pipes they are connected to,Reg 543.3.1[/QUOTE]

And plumbers should stop slotting their pipes over my drilled joist cables, because they cant be ar--d to pick up a differnet floorboard

Reg No couldn't give damn

"Gas installations pipes must be spaced at least 25mm away from electricity cables"

Yeh pull the other-one! 2 days of trawling through the books

Thing is; this is a bonding cable being connected to the gas pipe, so proximity is as close as it gets (i.e. connected together) BTW I do realise that the majority of the run needs to be away from the gas pipe.

Ok, OK you've got me sussed - i have a really sad life

get the spark who routed the cable to move it or ask the designer if he is responciable

It's to do with sealing the pipe to stop leaks into cavity but I have seen loads of meter boxes with bonding coming through PVC sleeves

Good point; but do they not use intumescent fire sealant?

Nic Eic snags and soloutions book for earthing and bonding states in snag 15 that the earthing conductor is permitted to run through the sleeve where the gas pipe enters the property. Rule for one and a rule for another eh.
