[QUOTE="binky, post: 551006, member: 490"] if not accessible ie customer has expensive flooring you wouldn't want to disturb, and there is no other suitable access, you can bond elsewhere. 600mm is the [I]recommendation[/I], but not set in stone. You need to test that a suitable earth path is still achieved back to the main incoming point, not hard as there is far more copper in a gas pipe than a 10mm bond cable, and it is advisable to note location of bond on the board. NB this is not acceptable on a new build, when there is no excuse for not bonding at the incoming point, but can be done for upgrading an old bond, such as when changing a board. [/QUOTE]
