Did you Know?
Research has been presented that shows if direct or indirect lightning strikes a structure where yellow Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (or CSST) is installed but not properly bonded, it is possible for the electrical energy to arc and penetrate the tubing, potentially causing gas leaks or fires in some cases.
CSST is a flexible natural gas tubing used in some newer homes and in homes where the gas lines have been updated.
It is now required for the inspector to notify the client if this product is found during the inspection. Explain that the product is safer when properly bonded and grounded as required by the manufacturer's installation instructions.
