Reed Tool static grounding devices provide 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 device is a precaution that can dissipate the charge and minimize the possibility of ignition.
NOTE: Reed Tool strongly recommends use of the Static Grounding Device with PE Squeeze-Off Tools and Guillotine Pipe Cutters and the magnetic static grounding device on ratchet shears in all gas applications.
