I am replacing my galv with pex from the point of entry in the house. The water line enters the basement and after a new shut off valve goes the pex.
My gas line is jumpered to the old water line which connects to an old drain line and finally the panel. Service is 200 amp and has a couple groundiing electrodes outside. My questions regard replacing required grounding straps once the galvanized is gone.
I was planning on running a ground from the gas line to the panel. The furnace is old and has old 2 wire power.
I have 2 questions.
There will be a couple short sections of rigid copper where the flexible water lines connect to the water heater. Each of these transitions to PEX. Do these need to be grounded?
Should I run a ground wire between the old water pipe where it enters the building and my panel. It is a long way..
Thanks in advance
