I've never had to do this. Does anyone have a picture of what this looks like? I've seen some illustrations but am having trouble visualizing.

Thanks!
 
Is this not a mechanical code? Either way im pretty sure around here mechanical contractors bond it to the ufer ground or hire an electrician if no ufer ground is present.

One other thing I don't believe many contractors install is the thin wall pipe around my area, they install the thicker wall flexible pipe due to no bonding required and a less chance of developing pin holes from near by lighting strike.

This is a gas code issue, not a mechanical code. Some areas allow non-electrical contractors to do the bonding while others don't. BTW, the thicker walled stuff does not require bonding per the manufacturer's instructions however, the gas code still requires it, I believe.
 
Thanks for the video Dennis.

So, you either bond the regular black gas pipe or the fitting on the CSST?
