From - Texas Realtor, May 2015, Page 8 -
“You Ought to Know
Corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) - a flexible pipe that transmits natural gas and propane – can shock people or be a fire hazard if it’s not properly bonded and grounded. Inspectors aren’t required to identify or report the type of gas piping in a property, or if CSST is present, unless there’s a deficiency related to the bonding and grounding of the electrical system. If a buyer wants to know whether a property has CSST, or wants to make repairs, he should hire a licensed electrician.”
That’s my emphasis on the last line.
What does the f̶o̶x̶… err electrician say?
