The house cold water pipe (iron or copper) is often used to ground all electric outlets in the home. Outlets are grounded to protect you from shock when you touch any electric appliance plugged into the outlet. If you didn'tinstall a
bypass valve (FIG, 11), the cold water pipe ground is broken.

SERVICE
•To restore the ground, take the clamps (2), screws (2), nuts (2) and ground wire that were in the small parts bag. Install across the iron or copper in and out pipes as shown in FIG. 12. Be sure good contact is made between the pipe and the clamps. Fasten the ground wire tightly between the clamps.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the cold water pipe has direct metal to metal contact all the way to the ground. Plastic, rubber or other electrically insulating parts such as hoses, fittings, washers or gaskets can break the direct metal to metal contact. Also check the water meter (city water) or the well pump. Install #4 copper jumper wires, clamped tightly on both ends, across insulated parts (FIG. 13).
