Hi,
Metal water or gas pipes and BUILDING STEEL...IF THEY EXIST...Shall be bonded to the GEC.
You should also be bonding the motor case of spas or whirlpool tubs to a #8 solid to any copper lines around the spa and water meter too.
The handbook shows a bond around the water meter and then to building steel.
HW supply line makes sense, it is COPPER.
I do not see any problem there myself. What is the concern?
-regards
Greg
