Inspector here suggested I land the gas bond on the 1-1/4" RMC utility riser as it approached the meter.
He explained that was a simpler way to bond it than to go all the way into the enclosure.
Just run a #4 from a clamp on the nearest point on the gas to a clamp on the utility riser.
I knew you can land all the rods and bonds you want on the first 5 feet of the water pipe, if the water then has the right size GEC to the main...
but can bond the water, gas or rods to the RMC utility riser?
I guess it's not much different than bonding it in the enclosure on a buss
I like it but have I been doing it the hard way?
I thought:
So I could land the rods, and the gas all to the riser if need be, since it's all service equipment and threaded together?
just not the water

I thought:
and the RMC is not exactly the neutral connectionThe grounding electrode conductor shall be continuous (without bolted splices) from the grounding electrode to the neutral connection.
