WARDFlex MAX is the next generation of CSST, delivering all the benefits of the original WARDFlex system with a new conductive coating that disperses the electrical energy induced on the tubing when an arc occurs between the CSST and another metallic system located in the structure. While no CSST product is resistant to the effects of a direct lightening strike, WARDFlex MAX has been designed and tested to help mitigate damage caused by transient arcing of lightening induced energy inside the building.
