Since 1989 approximately 1 billion feet of CSST gas line or yellow gas line has been installed. Nearby lighting strikes can cause an electrical surge and puncture the CSST line. Bonding is considered electrical work and should only be performed by a qualified electrician.
In new construction we bond all gas lines. Currently about 500,000 new homes per year have CSST gas line installed in them. However, CSST gas line is considered safe when properly installed in your home. Part of the installed properly guidelines refers to bonding your CSST gas line, your local electrician can do this for you. If your home is more than two years old we recommended you have a licensed electrician check for proper gas line bonding. Many real estate transactions and inspections require the CSST line to be bonded prior to the sale. A good source of information on CSST lines can be found at CSSTSafety.com.
