The past two years I've noticed them getting alot more strict on how gas pipes get bonded. They used to consider it bonded by the egc of the equipment that is "likely" to energize the piping. But they are no longer letting this fly in all situations. I've been noticing it varies from county to county on how they are handling this. Some counties would let you size the bond by 250.122,,,,,,,,others would make you bond it by 250.66. It seems that if there is any csst on the job,,,,,anywhere, even a short piece behind the stove, it will not be considered bonded if done by 250.104(b),,,,,,,,,,that's only if there is no csst on the job, if they use csst,,,,,,you have to bond by a #6 solid. One manufacturer (wardflex)demands the same size wire as the GEC!!,,,,I think this is getting crazy,,,and the electrician is paying the price for the plumber using a inferior product!!
