Re: Bonding gas pipe

D_Davis, the bonding of a gas pipe is sometimes very important and required by the NEC. See section 250.104(B).

Re: Bonding gas pipe

I had to move an exisiting service in a Cook Co. community, and was required to upgrade the ground to 4 guage, install the bonding jumper at the water meter, install a grounding rod ouside, and GROUND THE HOT WATER, COLD WATER, AND GAS PIPE AT THE WATER HEATER, PER CODE.
I still have the inspector's notes in my files.
