●Acceptable Water Pipe. A metal underground water pipe, at least ½ in. (1.3 cm) in
diameter, in direct contact with the earth for at least 10 ft. (3m). The pipe must be
electrically continuous (or made electrically continuous by bonding around insulated joints,
plastic pipe, or plastic water meters) to the point where the protector ground wire connects.
A metallic underground water pipe must be supplemented by the metal frame of the
building, a concrete-encased ground, or a ground ring. If these grounds are not available,
the water pipe ground can be supplemented by one of the following types of grounds:
- Other local metal underground systems or structures, such as tanks and piping
systems.
- Rod and pipe electrodes. A 5/8-in. (1.6 cm) solid rod or ¾ in. (2 cm) conduit or pipe
electrode driven to a minimum depth of 8 ft. (2.4 m).
- Plate electrodes. Must have a minimum of 2 sq. ft. (0.185 sq. m) of metallic surface
exposed to the exterior soil.
●Concrete Encased Ground. An electrode encased by at least 2 in. (5.1 cm) of concrete
and located within and near the bottom of a concrete foundation or footing in direct contact
with the earth. The electrode must be at least 20 ft. (6.1 m) of one or more steel reinforcing
bars or rods,
1/2-in. (1.3 cm) in diameter, or at least 20 ft. (6.1 m) of bare solid copper, 4 AWG (26 mm2)
wire.
●Ground Ring. A buried ground that encircles a building or structure at a depth of at least
2.5 ft (0.76 m) below the earth’s surface. The ground ring must be at least 20 ft. (6.1 m) of
