Hi,
Is connecting the gec to building steel on a commercial job accpetable versus cold water bond?

it seems to me that you need both but parallel paths could be an issue.

i am looking at a riser diagram that calls for 3 3/4"X8' ground rods placed 10 feet apart and instructions to connect to building steel where possible..

it seems to me that you need a building steel connection and you need a cold water bond..200A service requires a #6 AWG GEC to a made electrode..and a #4 AWG GEC to cold water..correct?

thanks

thanks for any replies.
