Abstract:
By providing a single housing, component or element incorporating a plurality of passageways or receiving zones formed therein, at least one of which is substantially enlarged an easily assembled bonding bar or grounding bridge is achieved. Each passageway or receiving zone is cooperatively associated with a locking screw or set screw which is configured to enable grounding conductors to be inserted through the passageway/receiving zone and securely mounted therein. In addition, the enlarged passageway or receiving zone is constructed for enabling the upper terminating end of a grounding rod to be inserted therein in cooperative association with the grounding conductor extending from an associated meter box, junction box, electrical outlet box or the like. In this way, all of the requirements for a highly effective intersystem bonding termination are realized and all of the newly enacted code provisions are satisfied.
