TRACPIPE BONDING CLAMP

Larry Richardson, Plumbing Marketing Manager

For bonding of the conventional yellow-jacketed TracPipe system, a bonding clamp must be attached to the brass Autoflare fitting adapter (adjacent to the pipe thread area – see Figure 4-21) or to a black pipe component (pipe or fitting) located in the same electrically continuous gas piping system as the Autoflare fitting. The corrugated stainless steel portion of the gas piping system SHALL NOT be used as the bonding attachment point under any circumstances. Bonding electrode conductor sizing shall be in accordance with NFPA 70 Article 250 (Table 250-66) Paragraph (A).
