bonding EMT with electrode conductor

[kjless]

if you run your electrode conductor through EMT and or flex do you have to bond either end of the raceway?

You have to bond both ends, see 250.64(E) for one article section that requires it.

FWIW, its usually much cheaper and easier to use a non-ferrous conduit for the GEC.

Other than no raceway at all, that is my preference.

I dont think I've ever used a raceway to be honest.

Unfortunately, a lot of commercial specs require it, even for SDS's in the protection of electrical closets/rooms for some stupid reason.

That'd be a First !

I was going to say:

Yes, Bond.
Remember that your connector is listed in most casing and should match your available flex! In most cases the flex with not have a additional copper ground interwoven your connector should match your availalbe flex choices. Till Roger spoke ...

If your consider that we bond at most circuit intersections, your changing from EMT to flex. Ok, which one. thus the bonding because you changed the dynamic's of the install.

Don't mind my moderated post ... I didn't read the code reference...

I wonder if they make a combo Kenny-Clamp/EMT connector? :grin:

Sure..it's called a threaded coupling :grin:

I agree. I have failed many installations because metal conduit was not bonded at both ends.
