This happens when the neutral goes out in a house. Usually the waterlines will handle it, but if the house has pex the ground will go through the gas lines.

Especially if a high voltage line comes down on a gas meter for whatever reason.

Definitely run away and call professional… everyone i guess.

What are those equipments?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (4 children)

They look like a gas furnace and a hot water tank. My first thought was "Why are they connected? ", because I thought the tank had its own heating element. My second thought was "Aren't those water lines? How does a water line become incandescent?"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The only way that immediately springs to mind is so unlikely to happen. It requires multiple faults/mistakes.

1: The chassis of one of the two units became live (connected to "hot" for you Americans) but was also not grounded in any way.
2: The chassis of the other WAS grounded and created a circuit for the current to flow.
3: There was no RCD (GFCD or whatever you guys call it) on the circuit.

In this way, that pipe would be the only thing connecting the two devices, and the resistance is causing a huge amount of heat (just like an incandescent bulb, or a heating element does by design).

Probably other possibilities, but it's just the first thing I could think of that could potentially produce this result. But, that's a lot of safety features to have either failed or just simply not been in place for this to be possible. So, frankly I hope I'm totally wrong.

Both glowing portions are natural gas pipes. Perhaps it's somehow ignited inside the pipes and is super heating them but also somehow NOT travelling outside the two glowing sections and burning the house down???

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I don't know, but I'd like to think I would shut everything off and run away until it demonstrably hadn't exploded rather than take a picture!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe when it contains superheated steam?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Some part of me believes that water cannot get so hot that it would cause metal to Glow.

I would be happy to be proven wrong.

I mean, unless you're saying that the pipe is heating the water inside of it? Which at that temperature that water would be expanding to over a thousand times its size and would probably blow that line to smithereens.

Hey if it’s keeping you warm then it must be working correctly
