Have an old building that I'm upgrading the service to.
Service disco will be on back of building in alley.
Water line comes up in basement at front of building.
I need to drive the 2 ground rods somewhere in basement of building, as there is no real estate outside of building perimeter.
If I drive them somewhere in the back of building (basement), I'd have to attach them to the #4 from water line with and irreversible crimp...
Or, I could drive them at front of building (basement), and run the #6 to the waterline (grounding electrode).
Any thoughts about "daisy chaining" the grounding electrode conductors like this?
And would I be able to attach the #6 directly to the water line with a pipe clamp right next to the pipe clamp that attaches the #4 GEC that goes back through the basement the the service in alley?
Thanks!
