Stumbled upon

[ICE]

We used to require a bonding jumper from the hot to cold water pipe at the water heater when an el. service upgrade takes place. We dropped the requirement about a year ago but many electricians still do it. I have found countless jacked-up water heaters. Mostly just wrong but a few that were dangerous.



This contractor took it a step further and almost bonded the gas pipe too.

That clear flue pipe looks nice! Certainly makes it very easy to inspect everything else.

Hows the ground clamp work on painted pipe?

That's why I said "almost" bonded the gas pipe.

Can't get any more "natural" than that draft......none of that pesky man-made pipe in the way....

Doesn't look like any shut off valve on the cold water line either!
