Gas & Fuel第 64 / 110 题
Corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) must be electrically bonded to reduce the risk of arcing from a lightning-induced surge. Where is the bonding clamp attached?
a.To the CSST jacket only
b.To the appliance cabinet only
c.To the gas meter body only
d.To a rigid pipe or CSST fitting ahead of the first downstream CSST, bonded to the grounding electrode system
解析
CSST is bonded by clamping to a rigid gas pipe component or approved fitting and connecting to the building grounding electrode system, typically with a minimum 6 AWG copper conductor. Bonding drains induced energy so a lightning surge does not perforate the thin CSST wall by arcing. Standard equipment grounding alone does not satisfy the dedicated CSST bonding requirement.
