Polyethylene plastic used in manufacturing gas pipe has many advantages over steel and other materials. However, one disadvantage is the potentially dangerous buildup caused by gas flowing through this non-conductive material. The possibility of static electric discharge during squeeze-off of PE gas pipe is now recognized and addressed by gas utilities and pipe manufacturers. If the squeeze tool is properly grounded, the discharge will move through the squeeze tool to the earth.
