Re: Plumbing question-No Ground causing plating to FAIL??
y2khardtop,
Just a little bit more input on this subject.
The plating problems are most likely due to a poor preparation in the original plating process from the factory. Most likely a fluke, but not caused by any type of stray current emanating through your plumbing due to the use of PEX or plastic water lines not being grounded.
Copper tubing does not require a ground either when run. The house itself is grounded electrically (required), and a lot of times contractors will put a ground lug onto a piece of copper water line (this really upsets the plumbers) to ground an electrical circuit somewhere it shouldn't be.
My guess is that it probably will not happen again.
