Chris might have been talking about securing the GEC to the surface that it runs upon. Speaking of the runs....remind me to not touch anything while I'm there.TheCommish said:why drill there was an available hole
Whenever I see a code section I go take a look and when I saw the heading, I thought I knew all. Then I noticed that there's a lot of words in 250.94 for such a simple concept.jar546 said:And, where is the compliance with 250.94?
When does a building become "existing" The day it gets a CO? The day after? A year later? Obviously, this dwelling qualifies so what am I missing here? It appears as though service upgrades are exempt.250.94 Bonding for Other Systems. An intersystem
bonding termination for connecting intersystem bonding
and grounding conductors required for other systems shall
be provided external to enclosures at the service equipment
and at the disconnecting means for any additional buildings
or structures. Yada, yada, yada
Exception: In existing buildings or structures where any of
the intersystem bonding and grounding conductors
required by 770.93, 800.100(B), 810.21(F), 820.100(B),
830.100(B) exist, installation of the intersystem bonding
termination is not required. An accessible means external
to enclosures for connecting intersystem bonding and
grounding electrode conductors shall be permitted at..blah, blah, blah
There is waste pipe, and there is water pipe but there is no waste water pipe. And no fatboy, this is not a bong either.jwelectric said:Was there a bond on that metal waste water pipe? I think that 250.104(A)(1) will require one
I think so.Rider Rick said:ICE is that a galvi cap on the copper pipe?
Don't have my book handy to pull up the code section, but my understanding is that the entire 8 feet of ground rod must be fully driven into the ground to be compliant. From looking at the picture, driving the last 3 or 4 inches of rod into the ground would certainly subject the wire to damage (as it would pull it off the wall, etc.)ICE said:
This is a good example of the (s) found in 250.104(A)(1) and the bonding requirements found therein that anyone could post. Many will argue that the (s) means hot and cold but never require a bond to the metal pipe pictured. The (s) includes this pipe.jwelectric said:

That metal pipe carries air. Further on down the line, the pipe will carry water....and other stuff. It is not likely to become energized and therefor it is not required to be bonded.jwelectric said:
