Bonding

[Pierre C Belarge]

I'm just having a hard time with the Heading, Why call it that specific of a name and just throw everything under it?

I know it says metal piping, but going back to the heading the two should be related, and a metal fence certainty is not related to the heading, now if that metal piping was part of some type of electrical equipment, then I would agree that it would need to be bonded.

The code book would most likely grow in size if the titles had to encompass all that is written in the body of the section the title covers.

I just wanted to share this and to say regardless of this bonding issue I hope and think his product will help prevent some of the death and injury caused by our love of swimming.

From The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

?For every child who drowns, six receive emergency department care for
near-drowning or non-fatal submersion injuries.?

(..)

?In 2000, 943 children ages 0 to 14 years died from drowning (CDC
2002). While drowning rates have been declining slowly over time
(Branche 1999), it remains the second-leading cause of injury-related
death for children ages 1 to 14 (CDC 2002).?

Here are the groups at risk.

?African American infants under one year had a drowning rate 2.9 times
that of White children (CDC 2002). Many of these drownings occurred in
bathtubs and household buckets. Among children 1 to 4 years of age,
African Americans have a lower drowning rate than Whites; drownings in
this age group typically happen in residential swimming pools. African
American children ages 5 to 19 years drowned at 2.4 times the rate of
White children in this age group in 2000 (CDC 2002). As children get
older, drownings occur more often in open water areas such as ponds,
lakes, and rivers.?

The risk factors are:

- ?Children under age one most often drown in bathtubs, buckets, and
toilets (Brenner et al. 2001).

- Among children ages 1 to 4 years, most drownings occur in
residential swimming pools (Brenner et al. 2001).?

Children who drown in residential pools had been:

- last seen inside their home;

- gone for less than 5 minutes; and

- in the care of either or both parents at the time.

Interesting thread, makes look at the interpertation of the reading the code even more. Looks like Blaine would have to just go with ALL PLASTIC fences.

Actually depending on the number of jurisdictions that throw up walls for his fence....It might be practical to devise an approved method for the PVC sleeves to have a slip bond connection with the fence. Market it, promote it to the code MAKE IT CODE, force all his competitors to utilize his patented bonding sleeve.

In PG County Maryland the chief inspector developed a hocus pocus ground clamp for MANDATORY (AS THE STORY GOES) use on all transformers and panels, forget the name at present. But IMO a joke, and a conflict of interest, would you think?
