Earth bonding gas pipe

[Kev Liddle]

Morning folks,

I'm at the magical stage of fitting the sink/hob into the van, I believe I need to earth the gas pipe? I also read somewhere the sink can/should be earthed too?? Would this cable be suitable: Earth cable

Cheers!

Yes along with bonding straps if they fit your metal pipework, be careful there are no insulating components like plastic tube fittings, if that’s the case you’ll need to bridge them to maintain continuity.

Thanks for clarifying that! Is the cable in that link ok to use?

The 10 sq mm earth cable, yes. I’m not sure on the regulation with a vehicle but it makes sense that the earth cable should be able to carry the max current supplied to the vehicle on EHU. That said any earth leakage should trip the the EHU RCD and / or the vans RCD.
