Hi there
I am working on a 200 amp service that an electrician prior to me did not finish. He ran #6 to two grounding rods and also there was a #6 going to the water well casing. The addition is now sheetrocked and painted. From my knowledge it should be a #4 wire from the service to the cold water pipe. Entrance conductors are 4/0 AL. Now is very hard to run this #4 wire through the finished space without damaging walls. However there is a 100 amp subpanel in an unfinished part of the basement and it is connected with the main service with 1 1/4 PVC. There is enough space to run another #4 from the main and then through the sub to the cold water line. I could not find anything in the code book that would tell me if it would be OK to run MBJ through the same conduit with subpanel wires
Thanks
