Throughout this post, I’ll explain how to verify if you have CSST in your home, what bonding means from a technical standpoint, and how the bonding should be installed.
WHAT IS CSST? Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST) is a flexible, stainless steel pipe used to supply natural gas in residential, commercial and industrial structures. CSST is often coated with a yellow, or in some cases, a black exterior plastic coating.
Being flexible, CSST is easier to install than rigid piping, and because it requires fewer fitting joints, there is less chance of a leak developing during an earthquake. However, concern about its safety has grown in recent years.
Gastite® Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST) supplies natural gas or LP gas to appliances. Gastite is a reliable, cost-effective system that can be installed in all modes of construction.
Arc-resistant, black jacketed, CSST products are designed to provide the same or greater level of protection against arcing by using a jacketing system designed for that purpose.
CSST and polyethylene pipe are two types of flexible pipe that carry gas to dryers or outdoor kitchens. If you’re having indoor or outdoor gas lines installed, it’s helpful to know the pipe types, as well as the products that connect appliances to a gas line.
