Hi everyone,
I have been getting many different answers from contractors as how inspectors are requiring the bonding of CSST in dwelling units.
Let me knowyour thoughts. I have included the IFC and IRC code articles.
There are only two approved methods, from the DCA
1 – attach a number #6 copper to the existing ground rod;
From the
steel gas piping on the load side of the gas meter
2 – attach a #6 copper conductor to the grounding electrode conductor going to the concrete encased electrode; From the steel gas piping on theload side of the gas meter
These are the answers I have received from electrical
contractors in myarea; as per what the inspectors are tell them to do.
1 – just bond it to the water pipe
2 – drive a separate ground rod
3 – bond it inside the main panel or sub panel
4 – it has to be bonded WITHIN 5″ of the gas meter
One reply.
