STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNICATION SITES CONNECTION METHODS FOR INTERNAL GROUNDING (EARTHING) SYSTEM<br />

NOTE: Use of a star washer does not alleviate the requirement to remove non-conductive coatings from<br />

attachment surfaces because the star washer does not provide enough contact surface area.<br />

• Connections to steel <strong>and</strong> galvanized steel pipes, conduit or other round member items shall be<br />

made using a UL 486A listed, bolted clamp with stainless steel securing hardware or other suitable<br />

listed means. In high humidity areas, the clamps shall be stainless steel or tin-plated UL 486A<br />

listed to prevent galvanic corrosion.<br />

• Connections to vibrating or moveable items shall be made by using an exothermic weld or a<br />

compression-type two-hole lug.<br />

• Connections to structural building steel shall be made by using an exothermic weld, listed<br />

irreversible high compression-type connection, or listed tin-plated flange-type bonding connector<br />

that is equipped with two securing bolts. Figure 5-21 shows examples of flange-type bonding<br />

connectors.<br />

• Connections to raised flooring support system shall be made using a tin-plated listed compression<br />

lug, listed pedestal clamp, or exothermic welding. Where practical the lug should be effectively<br />

bonded to the pedestal's upper support plate or to cross connecting stringer. Figure 5-22 shows<br />

some examples of acceptable pedestal bonding configurations.<br />
