Grounding flexible gas connector?

[mjohnson2981]

I have been given a home inspection on a friend's house. The inspector made a comment that "(CSST) gas piping does not appear to be properly grounded as required
for new installations by the manufacturer"

The gas supply is all black iron. The point he is talking about is the 18" Coated Flexible Gas Connector between the black iron and the water heater.

If the black iron is properly grounded at the meter, is there anything else required?

inform him that the flexible connector is not ccst
askhim to show you the code

If the house is plumbed with all black iron pipe, I doubt bonding is required.
The last time I checked, a flexible appliance connector did not fall under csst rules. Your local code law may differ.

If they used csst for a short supply line, technically it needs bonded.
Check your local codes or ask your local plumbing inspector before doing anything.

Dontcha just love home inspectors. Had one tell a homeowner that their A/C wasn't operating properly. They called me out to check it out. walked around the house looking for a condensing unit,,,,,,None. Asked H/O why the inspector thought there was an A/C, Was because there was a heating-Cooling Stat installed on the wall.
