2.Connect the green or bare grounding wire from the appliance cable to a grounded wire in the junction box or to a grounded, copper, cold water pipe.

3.DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. Do Not connect to electrical supply until appliance is permanently grounded. (See figure 5) Grounded, cold water pipe must have metal continuity to electrical ground and not be interrupted by plastic, rubber or other insulating, electrical connectors such as hoses, fittings, washers or gaskets (including water meter or pump). Any insulating, electrical connector should be jumped as shown with a length of No. 4 copper wire securely clamped to bare metal at both ends.
