Attach the other end of this

that this cold water pipe is
continuous meta! pipe from
under the sink to the ground

listed (approved) ground
clamp to attach the ground

water connections or if plastic
pipe is used in your water
supply pipe, you will need a
qualified electrician to install a
proper ground. Now, replace
the electrical plate.
If you have a water meter in
your home, check the meter
to see if there is a wire that
comes across it. If there is no
wire, your cold water pipe is
NOT GROUNDED.
To properly ground it, add a
copper wire as shown at right.
Use only Underwriters Labo-

ed) ground clamps to attach

WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, a hazard of electrical shock
may exist. DO NOT reconnect electrical power at main service panel until
proper ground is installed. For your safety, DO NOT ground to a gas sup-
ply pipe.
