 | ... this month's practical snag and its solution from the NICEIC
Means of earthing in older installations
Older installations are sometimes found to employ the water service pipe as the sole means of earthing. Older installations may use a gas, water or older metal service pipe as a means of earthing. This is not permitted. It has never been permitted to use a gas pipe as a means of earthing and, since 1996, it has not been permitted to use any other service pipe either.
Necessary protective bonding connections must be made to the gas installation pipe, water and other metal service pipes.
