I think mule pointed out a missing anti-siphon on a hose bibb in another picture I posted. I just wanted him to see that I also require them.

Re: anti-siphon
mtlogcabin,
On every re-pipe inspection the first thing I ask is where is the electrical bond to the water pipe. Many plumbers tell me they have no idea what I am talking about. Now the regulars greet me with "the pipe is bonded". I always reply"show me". That's what this picture was all about. I was just funnin with Mule.

Re: anti-siphon
Upon further review, I do see a conductor in the mix. But really, what is up with the poly under the clamp?
EDIT: Put glasses on.
So MC meets the requirements of 250.62 or 250.104???tigerloose said:

It was a re-pipe inspection. The tape is the plumber worried about dissimilar metal corrosion.

Mule,
That is a stranded #4 with armor protection. It was installed by an electrician at the original water main during the course of a service panel upgrade.

Re: anti-siphon
I don't believe an electrician would have installed the bond clamp on the poly. Kind of defeats the purpose of the bond

So did the plumber alter the electricians installation :?:

Re: anti-siphon
Well yes, the plumber replaced the pipe that the clamp was on.

Re: anti-siphon
I know the opening post is in regards to the anti-siphon devise in place, but I'm confused :? about the ground rod next to the water service entry? Is only one grounding wire being attach to the ground rod and the water pipe ground that then goes to the service panel? At least the grounding wire is protected. Very odd install! I'am out of goody's

Pcinspector,
The post was all about the clamp. Whenever one rod is required we require two ground rods or a test of the grounding electrode to verify that it is less than 25 ohms. So there is a ground rod adjacent to the service panel and a second rod at the water service.
