250.94

Has anyone seen one of these used to fulfil 250.94?

I have not. I have seen something similar.

I've just been stubbing out a piece of #6 in the area of the phone/cable box on the outside of the house and let them land to it via split bolts etc. Errico makes a intrasystem bonding terminal that is really nice and really pricey.

Must be those perforations in the strap satisfy the part of 250.94 that says "the intersystem bonding termination shall have the capacity for connection of not less than three intersystem bonding conductors".

I dont think this complies it looks like some sort of bonding strap for waterpiping. Also isnt the intent for the other systems to be put under a terminal and not need any further devices to attach their grounds except for a screwdriver?

Looks cheesy to me. We use something more substantial. It is made by Ilsco GBT-1/0

They used to be used to pick up a ground off a water pipe.

they sure make some cool connectors.

I do not think the picture in the OP is compliant to 250.94. I agree with an earlier post that it looks like a bonding strap of some sort and the intent is to have terminals for the intersystem bonding conductors.

Something intresting in this article is 250-94(1) requires the set of terminals to be securely fastened where as 250-94(2) & (3) make no mention of securely fastening the bonding bar.

That looks like a nice, quick solution .

about 10 minuets quick... I wish I could have found a color picture ,.. it is a great little bonding bar

Or to put ground onto one.

That is a complete miss use of the part, Listing and Labeling. But you knew that already

Tom,
That is fine under the 2005 and earlier codes, but is not permitted under the 2008 code.

I agree Don......but my AHJ is approving this practice at least for now. I have also seen intersystem bonding terminals that simply attach to the outside of the meter socket via set screws.
