[QUOTE="kme, post: 116142, member: 113"] Okay. I`ve read, and perused this thread, and the "relevant" section of 7671 (although taking ONE section out of context can also provide misleading info.....), and I`m voting "Yes, you can". 1. As has been said, the rod is *functionally* no different to a lead or soft copper water pipe; so how could it be regulated against? Although I understand the thrust of the argument ("one" of the methods), there is no reg. specifically precluding this. 2. As I posted on the "other" thread recently; IF it was against reg, surely we`d be expected to REMOVE bonding from any services which entered the ground with a conductive material. Not going to happen, is it? I`m not "backing my answer with a reg", as there isn`t one. However, conversely, there isn`t one to preclude it, either. KME [/QUOTE]
