Default pcv valve grounded?

so it seems the massive ground goes to the pcv valve. im shure i can loose that, but what about the clamp comming out of the harness? is that a ground as well or is it just supposed to hold the harness in place?

on second thought, why is the pcv valve grounded it such a way?

Parts in the fuel system get grounded. The PCV has burnt fuel.
I'm assuming if there was enough static electricity in the line there could be a fire.

I think I read somewhere that the strap is to warm the PCV valve for better/faster operation.
