  • Patent number: 4106832
    Abstract: An improved means for grounding the electrical service in a building or for grounding motors and the like consisting of an electrical ground fixture comprising a metal pipe section and a securing means for a ground wire integrally associated with the metal pipe section. The securing means comprises a metal casing adapted to receive the ground wire, the casing being integrally connected with and positioned exteriorly on the pipe section. A clamp, operatively associated with the casing and movable with respect thereto is adapted to secure the ground wire in the casing. When the ground wire is secured, a ground path is provided between the wire and the casing and metal pipe section. The pipe section is incorporated into an appropriate part of the water system of the building. Difficulties of installation, corrosion problems and crimping of the pipe occurring with previously used screw-secured plate members fitted about a pipe are avoided according to the present invention.
