All of this is my opinion so take it for what it worth?

Safety Campaign Reminds Homeowners of Hazards Related to ...
The main danger with corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) gas lines is the risk of gas leaks and fire/explosion from electrical arcing caused by lightning strikes. CSST's thin walls make it vulnerable to being punctured by lightning-induced electrical arcing, which can then ignite the escaping gas. These fires can be difficult to locate and can lead to catastrophic structural damage and serious injuries, especially for firefighters. Proper electrical bonding and grounding of the CSST system is essential

THIS was a very valuable point! I have emailed my insurance broker to ensure that this does not pose a hazard as determined by the insurance companies. Would NOT want to be dropped as a result of this install.
