One more time so I understand pls
I thought only the 1st 5' of the water pipe count as GEC
What is the compliance view here on forum of the common practice of grabbing nearest cold water pipe to make an old k&t outlet grounded instead of just installing a gfi
I say either install gfi or you need a grounded ct back to a new ct w that has gec included
And that new ct needs - likely - an Afci
Which probably won't fit in the old panel
Which will need to be replaced
New panel!
And that's a good thing
????
Also the loose wire never has any kind of approved strain relief
In belief, man can do anything
