Hi friends,
My plumber buddy called and asked if he needed to jump the water heater in a house he's doing with all PEX.
I mentioned the speaker/inspector from the CEU class I attended installed a jacuzzi in his house fed with PEX. The inspector had him bond a small metal nipple that came from the faucet of the jacuzzi that was fed with PEX. He did, and when the inspector left he removed it.
My suggestion to the plumber was to jump the heater and be done with it.
Any thoughts?
He also mentioned, when I mentioned to him about the Jacuzzi, that he knows of an install where the electrical inspector wanted a bond from the jacuzzi back to the panel. As far as I know, the bond would go from the motor to the metal water pipe and is not required to go back to the panel. Please double confirm this for me.....
Much Thanks,
Rich
