ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area is it up to the inspector?

no. i used two separate ground clamps. Im not to sure what his reasoning is but I wasnt there when the inspector passed by. I had a feeling when i was cutting the ground that i might be screwing myself. So now i have to crawl back under the house and try to get maybe about five feet of slack out. (which is nearly impossible) So i might have to re run it... and i dont think i messed up i just figured it looked cleaner, but i guess this guy didnt want clean

OK, in addition to Roger, I also would like to know what the "problem" was. For a 'legal' violation (red sticker) here in NJ, an NEC Article has to be cited. Not saying that all AHJ's (including me) do that all the time, however most will provide.

Roger:
BTW, my 'assumption' is one that's on the 'usual/common' list.

he posted "No splice to cold water bond"....so i went back and repulled a new piece .. WELL SEE WHAT HAPPENS NOW

OK, this may be beating a dead horse now, but....

"he posted "No splice to cold water bond"....

OK, that's a very tough violation! Nothing to do with grd rods? Did/does he mean the conductor to the 'street side' of the water meter/water main??? Is it the jumper over the water meter?? The jumper at the water heater?? I'm confused!
