Cavie said:The reason for the manufacturer install instructions is that they were having issues with lightning strikes punching holes in the pipe looking for a place to go. Bonding stops this problem.
So why don't we insist that the mfgr fix the problem they created with inferior engineering? We all know that Gastite etal must be bonded but I guarantee you there are a lot more unbonded installs than bonded ones and if I were Mr. Gastite, I wouldn't be sleeping too well these days. Yet they are using this stuff more than ever......FWIW, I think it looks like heck on the outside of the house, unprotected of course. Which brings me to another issue. How can this vinyl coated, paper thin, stainless steel tubing be left exposed without physical protection? There, I feel much better now
