Where is Ground Clamps [RE-wrenches]

[Richard L Ratico]

Ray,

I like your method, some inspectors might not.There's something about that
cheery green color. Beats me.  You might want to go with your ground symbol
sticker idea! Check out 2002 NEC Article 250.126.

I use a 12-24 thread x 7/8" long #4 TEK Screw.  Its not Stainless but 
galvanized. I wouldn't think a stainless screw would have the hardness or 
strength to be a self-tapper. This TEK screw can self-tap into 1/2" steel 
plate. I use it regularly for mounting J boxes and ground lugs to 6" 
mounting poles. It's mean and it's NOT a sheet metal screw. Also, you can 
run a regular 12-24 machine screw (bolt) into the hole after self-tapping 
for those pesky inspectors.
Forgive my ignorance, but where in the code does it say equipment grounding 
screws have to be green? There are plenty of UL listed devices that don't 
have a green screw. (i.e. Trace Inverters). Maybe little ground symbol 
stickers would keep everyone happy?
