@jadnashua - Thanks
I have heard loud and clear and
multiple times about galv pipe and nearing its life and not modern codes.
But Please listen - I can't want to have major expense - I just want to fix things with min. possible and still as per code.
I know its possible -
@wwhitney - Thanks again - U said run/extend a grounding conduction to one of the location listed above - I believe you are referring to locations mentioned in NEC 250.130(C)
But its too technical for me - can you give me an example of those locations in layman terms...
I think you made it clear that those metal water supply lines can not be one of those allowed location.
Please look at my pic above so u have a better idea.
I understand if I splice this ground wire shown in pic that is attached to that water pipe - it has to be in jn box - and I can put one jn box - on that stud itself on which this grounding wire is stapled to.
But after I make that splice/connection and put a new extending grounding wire - where would I put the other end ?
As I said in pic ...there will be some metal parts in plumbing system on top of those metal supply galv pipes. for example - a brass elbow or metal bend support - also on top there will be shower head which is metal I believe and the mfg specifically says the tub spout pipe must be ips or copper so that will be metal.
So I connect this extension wire to every point that is metal? and than further extend it out to one of those allowed locations mentioned in NEC 250.130(C) ?
