I had a heating and cooling company ask me to bond there CSST tubing to the ufer ground. I said sure but the ufer ground was somewhat buried in a outside wall en-cased in spray foamin a finished room.
The homeowner cut away some sheet rock in the garage so I could see the side of the panel. I wanted to bond inside the panel, the local mechanical inspector told me that it had to go directly to the ufer ground, since the underground water line was PVC. I did not understand why I could not go into the panel.
In the mechanical code book it states must have a continuous run and bond to a effective ground fault path.
Any thoughts or suggestion would be great.
