Does anyone call out CSST in high lightning areas like Florida?

How does an inspector spot ungrounded CSST lines?

[Jeffrey R. Pope]

The proper bonding and grounding of CSST can be difficult to confirm for a Home Inspector. Depending on the LDZ designation of the city/town, the requirements will differ.

It's best just to defer to manufacturers requirements, and make home owners/buyers aware that there may be required uprgrades for the bonding and grounding systems where CSST is concerned.

We're going to be doing a NACHI.TV episode on it as most inspectors know nothing of it.

Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing used for gas line.

It's very common in my area in the last few years.

That's right... I remember now. Thanks Mike.

Shouldn't fault the manufacturers on this one. Great product. Pretty tough to expect them to have forseen the problem with it being too thin to carry a lightning strike.
