ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues Is this requirement being enforced by any AHJ's?

Enforced how? Bonding jumper to gec? EGC of equipment likely to enegrize the piping? If I wire a gas boiler with a wiring method that includes an egc the piping is bonded. Unless you are using two wire systems what is there to "enforce".

E-Scott,
i think we're talking a redundant bond...

..The inspector in my area says NO to bonding the gas pipe...he states.."it could become hazardous in that if it is bonded, and a loss of a neutral occurs..or even a low impedance ac leak, and that pipe is disconnected, the ensuing arc could ignite the gas in the pipe, as well as putting the worker in jeopardy when he has the 2 pieces of pipe in his hands and becomes a conductor himself"....
