[QUOTE="Rob_the_rich, post: 396916, member: 8419"] If people do decide to bond in an external meter box, don't drill through the back of the meter box. This could introduce a pathway for escaping gas to enter the property, in which case the gas monkey would/should classify it as "at risk". If there is a gas pipe entering the property through the back of the meter box, don't be tempted to use the gap between the sleeve and the pipe as a route for the cable either. There should be sealant in the gap on the inner wall which could be broken (if not it is at risk as above). If the supply is medium pressure fed, having the gas pipe and cable sharing the same route would/should also be "at risk". So best to drill through outside the box. [/QUOTE]
