How to Properly Bond Home-Flex CSST

[@mbrugh75]

can you bond it directly to a grounding rod instead of running it back to your service panel?

[@ValenciaPipeCo]

Yes. Bonding to a grounding rod is perfectly safe. Check your local code for specifics.

thank you!

[@pd2210]

Is it possible to bond it to the bonding screw on my hot water heater? That don't sound right, in other words my HWH is bonded to panel box. I would have to run past HWH to go to panel box. Can I just run it into the bonder thingy for HWH?

[@ValenciaPipeCo]

We recommend bonding directly to the panel box. This will ensure the strongest bond and will eliminate the possibility of the HWH energizing the gas line or vice versa, rather than only going to the panel box.
