With our recent economic boom and the amount of homes that came up, I won't be surprised when I hear a 1/4 of them burned down. The NEC does require that the grounding screws on devices (plugs, outlets, connector bodies, etc,) be green.

We know they are durable, climate-friendly and more cost-effective, and you don’t have to prepare the ground, dig large holes, cast your own supports and wait an age for them to cure… You screw them in, attach the structure, and you’re done! From a house to a carport or small fence, a solar array or large scale battery energy storage system project, RADIX’s screw foundations are the best option. I took a brief look in the code book during lunch and also noted that they also cannot be used for any other purpose if they are intended to ground the box.

Grounding conductors and bonding jumpers shall be connected by exothermic welding, listed pressure connectors, listed clamps, or other listed means.

Go to our applications page and see all the different things that can be build on top of our low-carbon foundations.The box is metal and the the grounding wire is not connected to the screw or any other part of the box. Our range of screws are manufactured from high quality steel and galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461: 2009 to ensure the surface of the screw is corrosion resistant for long term protection and increased life expectancy. It isn’t easy to find good partners in any industry, so having one here that goes beyond the parameters of expectation is incredible. If you remove a TEK screw, and then put it back in the same hole, can you get the same torque the second time? The point of the bar is to easily connect several conductors to the enclosure or to connect the can to the bar which contains the EGC of the feeder.

These are the sorts of mistakes that can happen in a less than perfect world, that the ground can protect from. Our range of screws not only work better than other types of foundations, they are faster to install, more eco-friendly, and deliver a more cost-effective solution. The reason this is in place, is due to the product either being double insulated, or using a low voltage power supply. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.Increasing pressure smears the metal at the existing contact points, enlarging contact, and adds new contact points. If there is insulation is on the grounding wire to the box it must be green or green w yellow stripe I believe or marked. Installation Care: Care must be taken during installation to ensure the ground anchor is properly aligned and inserted at the correct angle and depth. But if you're using the can as the ground fault current path, and the screws are part of that path, then the screws holding the bar to the panel are connecting the conductors to the enclosure. Assessing Underlying Soil: It’s important to assess the soil beneath the tarmac to ensure it can provide sufficient support and stability.

It’s the ideal socket replacement and can be used for a variety of applications including cricket cages, golf cages and spectator barriers. The inspector could easily take a micrometer to the box and measure the thread pitch of the screw, and do the math.

Our standard attachments allow you to build any structure on top of our foundation screws, but if you need a customised solution, we can manufacture it for you. This is a stark contrast to concrete foundations, which is highly limited and not possible in certain conditions.
