Even a nearby lightning stril►e that dces not stril:e a structune <br /> directly can cause metallic systems in the structure to become energized. If these types of systems are <br /> not properly bondcd,the dil�'erence in potcntial between the systems may cause thc charge to arc fnom <br /> one system to anotl�er system. Arcing can cause damage to CSST. Bonding and grounding as set <br /> fortti above should reduce the risl:of arcing and related damage. <br /> Depending upon conditions specific to the location of�e shucture in which the WARDFLEX°D <br /> system is being installed,including but not limited to whether or not the anea is prone to lightning,the <br /> owner of the structure should consider whether or not a lightning protection system is necessary or <br /> apprnpriate. Lightning protection systems are beyond the scope of this bulletin,but are covered by <br /> NFPA 780,which is the Standard for the Installation of Lightniag Protection Systems,and other <br /> standards. <br /> Scanned by CamScanner � <br /> .eleased On: 9/23/2008 <br />
