[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 396897, member: 8133"] Don't see a major issue. Strictly to BS7671 it should be at the point of entry. But its going to be a length of copper pipe between the two unlike water there is going to be no possibility of plastic fittings creeping in. Electrically there is little difference so it comes down to strict application of the standard and whats reasonable and convienent My gas pipe comes out the bottom of the meter box, makes a U shape and heads up the wall into the soffit and enters into the roof space, its bonded in the meter box. Previously it went through the box of the meter box, into a void behind some kitchen base units and into the floor (completely inaccessible to have got a bond on). When the boiler was moved and the gas main re-routed the plumber simply cut out the bit of pipe with the bond on and left it hanging in the breeze. :slap I simply came along and bonded the new pipe.
