Not enough paint cleaned off. Why would you put the wire under the clamp ... it’s deforming the pipe.
Can you explain to a non-plumber why thats wrong. And when he raised his voice ... was the inspection over?
I have heard that and I found it in the manufactures literature. I do not recall which company and I paid no attention to the claim. The code requires the bonding jumper.Some black jacketed CSST does not require bonding, like Wardflex, there's probably other black jacked CSST that also does not require bonding. I don't get to worried until I see the yellow jacket CSST with no bonding.
What CSST gas pipe is this?
Also I've been watching for CSST being bent more than 90°, refer to manufactures install directions on what ever brand pipe is being used.
Gimme black iron pipe, I loath CSST. But then don't care for PEX either, nobody has given me a satisfactory answer about rodents & PEX. But both of those materials require less skill & labor to install so that what is used, but will have to acknowledge in a repipe where the existing plumbing has failed PEX is much easier.
I had to look it up on their website. Turns out the black coating is conductive.
And ... if you go to wardmfg.com and click on wardflex, they have a nice video about quality control testing.
