Gas bond, plastic pipe but metal into properly

[BiddeldyBwah]

When metal pipework is going out of the property into a metal meter that is in the literal ground, i'm bonding it whether the supply for the meter is plastic or not.

Was, nt posting that to contradict what you said. Felt it was appropriate to the tread. Like you,I would feel that if an unextraneous part becomes extraneous, then something needs to be done about it.

Similarly a lpg connection to external cylinders doesn't - but if said connection went underground to say a large tank/cylinder then it would.

Good Post. I might differ slightly on the reasoning over the lpg cylinder. If as often is the case its metal bottom is sitting on concrete than its in better contact with true earth than a person outside standing in his shoes and socks.
That means a person inside the home touching the kitchen sink (under fault conditions) and simultaneousely touching the lpg pipe could receive a more severe shock than an individual standing outside in his shoes and sockets touching the metal water tap under the same fault conditions.
I would suggest either standing the lpg cylinder on a plastic base or bonding the lpg pipe. Although in a modern home thatlpg pipe will almost certainly be connected to a CPC

Gas cylinders are usually connected via rubber hose.
But large plastic tanks would be through steel pipe, maybe underground.

Go figure
