250.148. As far as cccs, I'm not sure I follow but I don't believe you need to bond the body if the EGC runs unbroken through it Edit: just read the article. It appears if ANY of the circuit conductors are spliced in the body then you must bond it.
I see that. As far as I know "conduit body" isn't specifically mentioned anywhere in 250, the article I mentioned is as close as it comes which is close enough for some people I'm sure. Maybe it's referenced in the listing or something. Hopefully someone who knows what they're talking about stops by because I'd like a definitive answer on this too
I always assumed that since you have to figure in box fill for splicing that 250.148 was the article that applied. Yeah, I know what happens when you assume, but I think the consensus is I was already an a$$ to begin with
EGC-electrode ground conductor? If your referring to the ground then I'd say no to bonding, cause none of the current carrying conductors are being spliced.
How would you bond it anyways? I say no bonding needed only because there is no way to bond it. I think it voids UL to do any kind of drilling and tapping on condulets. Plus I've never been called out on it. I don't splice in condulets often but when I have I have never bonded them.
Shop talk really. You have to bond in a FS box even if you don't put a device in it and they are constructed just like conduit bodies. The code draws a distinction in art. 100 that FS boxes are not considered consumers though. Just curious as to why the NEC let's you splice in conduit bodies and does not address the need to bond or not.
