WR, thats why i was confused. here on the left coast the utilities don't let me put anything in the meter can except the ugc's and gc. i land the gec in the enclosure with the main service disconnect on the gc bar, then run the gec unspliced either exposed on, or inside the wall, without conduit usually, to the ufer clamp or looped through the first g-rod clamp to the second g-rod clamp. i have been told that i can run 2 separate unspliced gec's, one to each of the 2 g-rods, instead of using one gec looped through to both, but don't know if that's true ?
