This is language taken directly from Chapter 24 of our Residential Code of New York.
?G2411.2.3 Prohibited uses. CSST shall not be supported on or by other electrically conductive systems including copper water pipe, electric power cables, air conditioning and heating ducts, communication cables and structural steel beams. Electrical wiring, including the bonding jumper, shall be supported and secured independently of the CSST so that it does not come in contact with the CSST.?

I believe most manufacturers of CSST require a minimum of 2" clearance from power wiring.

There was an amendment to the Indiana Electrical Code made and has been accepted that will read, "300.3(D) Separation from corrugated stainless steel tubing. All wiring methods shall be isolated from corrugated stainless steel tubing by a space separation of at least 2 inches except where the bonding connection is made."

This has not passed into law yet but it is going to be presented to the State Building Commission. :smile:

If I choose to run service conductors inside a building it is up to me to protect them with concrete encasement.

When the plumbers choose to make there job easier by using CSST it now seems it is up to me to ground it, bond it protect it etc. Maybe we should just install it for them.

I think the plumbers should be allowed to run CSST inside if they encase it with at least 2" of concrete.

Of course, a fluorescent fixture is not a wiring method.

Are you suggesting that any enclosure becomes a raceway or "wiring method" because it has through-conductors?

From Article 100, "Raceway. An enclosed channel of metal or nonmetallic materials designed expressly for holding wires, cables, or busbars, with additional functions as permitted in this Code. Raceways include, but are not limited to, . ." Does an enclosure hold wires? Can this be considered a raceway? In my opinion, it is the call of the AHJ and the definition of raceway would support him if he called it a raceway. In the case of CSST, does the CSST know that the wires in an enclosure are in or not in a raceway? HMMM . . . In what manner will you defend yourself on the witness stand if a house burned and you said you did everything correctly but the lightning jumped from a fluorescent fixture to the CSST and the enclosure is not a raceway? :)
