As of Nov 1, our AHJ is red-tagging any CSST without a dedicated #6 copper bond at the first fitting and wants photo proof at rough-in; they’re also calling for tracer wire on underground PE runs and a 15‑psi/30‑min air test before meter set. Anyone else seeing this ramp-up, and what’s your workflow for documenting the bonding and test results?
Seeing the same ramp-up; I treat the “first fitting bond” like an inspection sticker — #6 clamp, tag with date/job, and one photo showing the bond landing on the GES. Do they accept a single shot plus a Bluetooth gauge log (e.g., UEi EM201B) showing 15 psi start/end with timestamps, or are they making you hold a manual gauge in frame? We also run 14 AWG tracer with the PE and snap the continuity reading in the same frame so the AHJ has no wiggle room — pics or it didn’t bond.
