[QUOTE="PC Electrics, post: 79494, member: 650"] I would say "no, not okay", because the main protective bonding is supposed to be made direct from the MET to the consumers side of the gas meter. This installation seems to be using the gas main as the MPB conductor, which is also a no no. If the 'gas board' were to replace the steel gas main with plastic (which they are entitled to do as it is their pipe) what bonding that does exist would be gone. On a PIR this would be a code 2. Needs fixing pronto, the installation is technically unsafe (unsatisfactory). [/QUOTE]
