GEC

[ibew236]

Can anyone think of any reason why someone would think that the grounding electrode conductor can only be protected from physical damage with PVC conduit. I can use EMT or rigid, right, or am I missing something here?

Re: GEC

You may use any of those.
However if it is metalic, you will have to use bonding bushings at each end.

Haven't a clue. Do know PVC is easier to use. No need for bonding

Re: GEC

It would be acceptable to bond metallic conduit to the GEC, correct?

I would say probably preffered to further reduce the possibility of parraleling any faults

Yes, it would be acceptable, and also required. 250.64(E).
