The Static Electricity Grounding Accessory (PEGR) provides a path to ground for any static charge. Because static can build up on plastic pipe, even for water services, there is a possibility of a spark discharge of sufficient energy to cause ignition if the proper air/gas mixture is present. Use of a static electricity grounding accessory is a precaution that can dissipate the charge and minimize the possibility of ignition. Reed strongly recommends use of this grounding accessory with PE Squeeze-Off Tools and Guillotine Pipe Cutters in all gas applications.
