OK, faffed about now running my earth bonding cable from the gas meter in the cellar to the CU elsewhere.
Just need to finish the connections. The connection to the gas meter is with lead pipe, converting to iron just within 600mm of the meter.
There are some suggestions on the web that you shouldn't bond to lead pipe with a standard clamp. Presumably the idea is that the pipe may squash? Though my experience with lead water pipe is that the stuff is so thick that tightening an earth clamp isn't going to have any impact on the pipe.
Alternatively each end of the pipe is swaged onto either a brass stubb at the meter or a iron (I presume) stub at the other end. I could bond there or just at the beginning of the iron pipe.
Any comments? or am I just being a fusspot :-)
