Grounding Fixtures in a Row

[stevengreer]

I just wanted to know if when installing say 8 foot fixtures and locking them together end to end with the back plates is every ground screw to be hit or is the first screw ok since they are all connected?

Without looking for a code reference I'd say each fixture that contains a splice or termination should be bonded individually. And they probably all do.

Take a look at article 250.110, based on grounding, fixed equipment.

Take a look at the fixture instructions...in most cases you will find that using the end plate as a splice plate for a row of fixtures is suitable for use as the EGC for the fixtures.
