    LPG installation, earthing

    Hi all, I'm just pricing up a little install for a gas hob. It's an LPG installation from a change over kit. I was wondering if I should price in to bang an earth rod into the ground, and run some 10mm3 cable to the pipe work, so it's earthed. This isn't about equipotential bonding, which I...
