Grounding the gas meter and manifold has been electrical code requirement for years as it is for other metallic components/structures.
But I'm curious how a 6 ga solid wire could help mitigate a 30,000 amp. transient lightening strike? There are reasons multi-stand braided cable is used for the LPS.
