Mechanical contractor installed CSST underground to a remote building to supply gas for a heater.

The building has a 100 amp sub feed in it that feeds from a 200 amp panel in the house.

Is bonding the CSST at the point where it leaves the house sufficient, or should it also be bonded in the building itself?

The distance from the point where it leaves the dwelling to the termination at the heater is about 150'.

Thanks

It needs to be bonded at the remote building. Is it black or yellow? The black CSST doesn't require bonding like the yellow stuff did.
 
It's the black style.

I asked the M/C contractor for the mfg install specs, he didn't have it but said to bond it.

I'm going to get the info off the spool that's there and do my own research.

I did notice online that the black type is said to be extremely less vulnerable to problems with lightning strikes for instance.

Never seen this product direct buried, is it rated for such application? If so are there specific instructions for direct bury applications?

It certainly can't hurt to bond it. Up here, we don't bond it however. It's UL listed and the mfgr says no bonding required.

It still needs to be bonded, but the equipment grounding conductor of an appliance that connects to the gas line is sufficient to do so, no special bonding requirements like running a 6 AWG to a certain point in the system.

Next question, have you ever seen this product run underground?
