Should this manifold be grounded? Left side is gas entry into home from meter, other two lines run the furnace and water heater. ![DSC02613.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/a/2/a2020b4630a48451924a7e06e475cbe77a34c0fa.jpeg) ---

Hi Terri, You should have received an email from DLLR ( since you’re in MD ) about CSST and that we must report on the bonding or lack there of. I’ll see if I can find it… ---

Also most CSST manufacturers require bonding. ---

And then there is the black sheathed version which does not require bonding according to the manufacturer. TracPipe CounterStrike. But some municipalities may still call for bonding. ---

Just curious how many of you guys have actuality found visible grounding/bonding of CSST at meter? I’ve only seen it twice so usually make the same call as Jeffrey did above. ---
