Hi,

As part of my consumer unit upgrade i need to provide a bond to the water and gas, neither of which are there at the moment.

gas is easy the meter is in the garage but the water stoptap and meter are outside under a small manhole, the incoming water pipe then goes under the concrete floor and (i presume) under the kitchen but its a good 3-4 meters before it emerges!

Where would i bond this water supply? somehow outside near the incoming pipe & stoptap or where it actually emerges into the house?

Regulation 547-02-02 states 'The main equipotential bonding connection to any gas, water or other service shall be made as near as practicable to the point of entry of that service into the premises. Where there is an insulating section / insert at that point, or a meter, the connection shall be made to the consumer's hard metal pipework and before any branch pipework. Where practicable the connection shall be made within 500mm of the meter outlet union or at the point of entry to the building if the meter is external'
