FlashShield™: Simply the Safest, Inside and Out.
Corrugated stainless steel tubing, or CSST, was introduced as a safer, smarter alternative to black iron piping for natural gas and propane delivery in homes and businesses. It has increasingly gained traction among plumbing and HVAC installers over the years, due to the benefits it offers over black iron pipe and copper, including faster installation, reduced risk of leaks and less waste. However, while there are different brands of available on the market, it is important to note that not all CSST is created equal.
When it comes to CSST, safety is of utmost importance. There is only one that offers proven protection from lighting strikes and electrical arc faults. FlashShield meets all industry standards for protection against lightning. In fact, it is the only one to meet ANSI LC 1 and ICC-ES PMG LC1027 performance standards. In addition, FlashShield has been proven to resist electrical current arcs greater than 600 volts, which means customers are protected from electrical hazards from both inside the home and out.
FlashShield provides this unprecedented level of safety in layers. Its electrically insulative polymer cover protects the CSST from damage associated with electrical system failures and malfunctions. Its metallic shield and inner semi conductive polymer layer protect the CSST from greater voltage and current levels associated with lightning strikes near, or to, structures. And FlashShield’s multilayer jacket system provides protection from corrosive elements.
In addition, FlashShield’s patented XR3™ fitting offers an enhanced level of safety. It makes direct contact with the metal mesh, and features a shield-to-fitting feature to ensure electrical continuity. It provides a metal-to-metal seal, with no split rings, O-rings or gaskets. Its patented Jacket-Lock™ fitting eliminates exposed stainless steel beyond the nut, and all components are fully reusable.
