FlashShield™ provides more layers of resistance than any other csst product currently in the marketplace. FlashShield csst also eliminates the need for additional manufacturer-required bonding and offers the highest level of lightning protection available in flexible gas piping systems. As a result, the two layers of semi-conductive polymer jackets and the metal mesh help make FlashShield more resistant to the damaging effects of electrical energy than standard csst. The new fitting is designed with tooth-like indentations that directly touch metal to dissipate arcing and ensure better continuity between the fitting and the metal mesh. Gastite.
