Re: Elec grounding question
All metal piping systems (water, gas, air, etc.) should be bonded back to the building grounding electrode system. This does not provide grounding for the electrical system, it prevents the piping systems from being energized and hurting people. You want the overcurrent device to trip, and bonding makes this possible.
