I understand that, but the NEC applies to electrical equipment. Gas pipe is not electrical equipment and therefore 110.3(B) does not apply to gas pipe. :smile:

The NEC deals with anything that could potentially become energized and become a hazard as well, no?
Thats why we bond both sides of the water meter. One side to help establish our path to ground, the other side to bond the cpper lines within the home for saftey.

Unless you have a plastic water meter, that's not at all why you bond around a water meter.

Oops, 250.70 is the how, 250.104 (B) is the why.
However, some argue about the "likely to be energized" as being subjective and thereby non enforceable.

The NEC already has requirements for bonding gas lines, the NEC requires a conductor sized per 250.122 and the circuit that may energize it. Basically the EGC of the equipment that may energize the as line satisfies the NEC.
The fact that the CSST manufacturer desires 6 AWG has nothing to do with the NEC.

To keep the water department guy from getting killed if you're passing current on the pipe and he takes it out for service.

True, just as I'm told many have been shocked trying to work on a loose ground rod or connector.

Not when it's removed. What you're doing is bonding around the meter, as if it were a gap in the pipe.

Usually they have a brass or bronze body but if teflon tape or pipe dope that makes them not so good as a a continous path even when installed.
Same reason EC's can't use TFE tape or pipe dope on conduit.

You said it best, axe or chainsaw! I don't know if there was a series of housefires due to damaged NM cable but it's now in the Code.

Yes to me that is a much smarter install. Not as neaty neat but a B+. You can tell that guy didnt have to fuss as much as the guy that turned it into a new wallpaper in another thread or the Vo Tech one.

Is that Styrofoam insulation behind the panel and the wires? I thought that Styrofoam insulation had to be covered with drywall.
Ok, it's not an NEC rule.
