If you sleeve an insulated ground wire with a piece of EMT say 15' long, do you need to bond both ends of the pipe or does that only apply if the ground is bare?
infinity said:Yes, you must bond both end if a ferrous conduit contains a GEC.

No it's just a ground ran to a telephone board, thats it.infinity said:Then it must be run with the circuit conductors not in a separate conduit by itself.

Thanks and pvc is normally what I would do but when the specs say " No PVC above slab" then I can't. And they were picky about when our pvc emerged from slab, to immediately change over to EMT. So this is why I was asking. Thanks for the help.paul said:That would need to be bonded to the raceway at both ends. It's easier most times to just locate it in PVC raceway.

Sorry to confuse. We call the threaded fitting that we use to bond the wire to the pipe a choke. Guess the wording doesn't fit the purpose huh?raider1 said:Actually the choke affect is what you get if you don't bond the GEC at both ends of the ferrous metal raceway.

You mean a grounding bushing?Dave58er said:Sorry to confuse. We call the threaded fitting that we use to bond the wire to the pipe a choke. Guess the wording doesn't fit the purpose huh?
No, the fitting I'm talking about screws to the end of the conduit like a bushing.chevyx92 said:You mean a grounding bushing?
