Bonding Plastic Water/Gas Lines?
If plastic water/gas lines are used by the plumber in residential construction, any copper stub outs for faucets and so forth (18" long or more) must be bonded with a #6 wire... correct?
We are starting to see more and more of the plastic lines in my area and I would like to get some input from other electrical contractors. thanks |

Re: Bonding Plastic Water/Gas Lines?
All new houses here are built using PEX plastic tubing. Faster and easier for the plumbers to put in, but some of them tend to make a real mess of their runs behind the walls.
