I wonder why there’s 2 bonds? Seems daft to have modified the box when existing already.

Excerpts from gas safe TB102 (Location of protective equipotential bonding on gas installation pipework in domestic premises), doesn’t mention just siliconing up.Just needs sealing with a compound that's flexible. Like silicone.
On my gas safe inspection I had a property that I took him to where the Electrician had been after I had visited - they'd drilled though the top left corner. He pulled it and said just seal it up with silicone. Only like the spigot in the rear of the gas box when sealed.
Oh I agree, but at the end of the day it's been done incorrectly which i'm not disputing. But it's been done, and logically it isn't feasible to easily replace the meter box. Sealing the hole up so that it becomes air tight I think is acceptable, and seems that so of a Gas Safe inspector too.Excerpts from gas safe TB102, doesn’t mention just siliconing up.

Your reference is to a built-in meter box whereas the OP's is surface mounted. I'm not a gas installer myself, but logic would dictate that if the hole in the wall is filled in, any potential leak will be to the outside air - which shouldn't be an issue as the box itself is not designed to be airtight. Had it been a box built into a wall, I'd understand if it's a different kettle of fish.Excerpts from gas safe TB102 (Location of protective equipotential bonding on gas installation pipework in domestic premises), doesn’t mention just siliconing up.
Read what I said again please - if the hole in the wall is filled in.The first set of bs are correct even if it’s a surface meter box as there is a path to the cavity and not approved Method
Who's info is irrelevant?Irrelevant - wrong pieces of info
I replied again, so it was my 2nd info that was irrelevant.Who's info is irrelevant?
