As per up to date electrical regulations, there is an earth connection from my fuse box to a nearby gas pipe, secured with a metal screw-on clip with 'DO NOT REMOVE' tag. Unfortunately, the screw was positioned so that its head sticks out and is in the way of a wall to ceiling cupboard I am installing to cover the area. I need to turn this connection through 90 degrees on the gas pipe so that the screw head points side-on or away. In terms of safety, how do I do this? The screw will need to be loosened so the whole clip can be turned. Whilst it is loosened, there is no guarantee the connection won't be broken for a split second. Obviously I want to avoid getting an electrician out for something that may be very simple. Thanks
