Your thoughts on bonding this gas pipe

[uksparks]

Hi,

Nice easy one, I have a gas pipe, its metal, but painted, no supply to properly, its just capped, but live.

As for bonding, what would you do? Just sand some paint off and bung a clamp on it? That's my thoughts, whats yours? I know you are meant to only put it supply side, but there isn't one.

If there is no meter then the house is not a consumer and the gas pipe belongs to the gas supply company, not the householder so don't bond it.
It is a new one to me being a Gas Safe Registered fitter !

I'm just bumping some of the older threads in the general electrical forum that had a lot of replies. They might not be current topics, if they're not, just ignore them and they'll soon drop off the list. If you DO wish to add a reply and get the conversation going again, feel free to do so. Your input might help somebody else in the future.
