<br />5. Cord-connected lighting fixtures shall meet the same specifications as other cord- and plug- <br />connected equipment as set forth in Section 680-7 where installed within 16 ft (4.88 m) of any <br />point on the water surface, measured radially. <br /> <br />(c) Switching Devices. Switching devices on the property shall be located at least 5 ft <br />(1.52 m) horizontally from the inside walls of a pool unless separated from the pool <br />by a solid fence, wall, or other permanent barrier. <br /> <br />680-22. Bonding <br />It shall not be the intent of this section to require that the No. 8 or larger solid copper <br />bonding conductor be extended or attached to any remote panelboard, service <br />equipment, or any electrode, but only that it shall be employed to eliminate voltage <br />gradients in the pool area as prescribed. <br /> <br />(a) Bonded Parts. The following parts shall be bonded together. <br /> <br />1. All metallic parts of the pool structure, including the reinforcing metal of the pool shell, coping <br />stones, and deck. The usual steel tie wires shall be considered suitable for bonding the <br />reinforcing steel together, and welding or special clamping shall not be required. These tie wires <br />shall be made tight. Where reinforcing steel is effectively insulated by a listed encapsulating <br />nonconductive compound, at the time of manufacture and installation, it shall not be required to <br />be bonded. <br /> <br />2. All forming shells and mounting brackets of a no-niche fixture unless a listed low-voltage <br />lighting system is used, not requiring bonding. <br /> <br />3. All metal fittings within or attached to the pool structure. Isolated parts that are not over 4 in. <br />(102 mm) in any dimension and do not penetrate into the pool structure more than 1 in. (25.4 <br />mm) shall not require bonding. <br /> <br />4. Metal parts of electrical equipment associated with the pool water circulating system, including <br />pump motors and metal parts of equipment associated with pool covers, including electric <br />motors. Metal parts of listed equipment incorporating an approved system of double insulation <br />and providing a means for grounding internal nonaccessible, noncurrent-carrying metal parts <br />shall not be bonded. <br /> <br />5. Metal-sheathed cables and raceways, metal piping, and all fixed metal parts that are within 5 <br />ft (1.52 m) horizontally of the inside walls of the pool, and within 12 ft (3.66 m) above the <br />maximum water level of the pool, or any observation stands, towers, or platforms, or from any <br />diving structures, and that are not separated from the pool by a permanent barrier. <br /> <br />(b) Common Bonding Grid. The parts specified in (a) shall be connected to a common <br />bonding grid with a solid copper conductor, insulated, covered, or bare, not smaller <br />than No.8. Connection shall be made by exothermic welding or by pressure <br />connectors or clamps that are labeled as being suitable for the purpose and are of the <br />following material: stainless steel, brass, copper, or copper alloy. The common <br />bonding grid shall be permitted to be any of the following: <br /> <br />1. The structural reinforcing steel of a concrete pool where the reinforcing rods are bonded <br />together by the usual steel tie wires or the equivalent <br /> <br />2. The wall of a bolted or welded metal pool <br />
