One if the strange properties of contacts is that at a microscopic level even the smoothest surface has high spots. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

Our foundation screws can be used for virtually any structure or fixture that needs to be anchored to the ground. For subframes being built for decks with heavy loads such as hot tubs and for garden rooms we recommend you install your Mighty Moles 1 x metre apart but do get in touch if you need any advice. Reduced Carbon Footprint: The production of concrete is energy-intensive and generates significant CO2 emissions. Please remember, the suitability of earth screws versus concrete depends on the specific requirements of your project, including soil type, load requirements, and environmental conditions.I agree with jeffnc that it probably IS ok to do it this way but it still seems lazy on their part and is not optimal. Those contact points I mentioned are actually cold welds You are disconnecting welded connections so even mild clamping will work. In my opinion, it would be up to the inspector to determine that there isn't at least two threads engaged rather than me having to prove that there are. Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars.

Ever noticed that the ground screw hole in a 16 gauge pull box is swaged to allow more screw contact? Run of the mill TEK screws (self drilling/self tapping) have a tough time getting through stainless steel. In your case it sounds like the metal box is connected to ground indirectly (although in electricity there is no such thing as indirectly) via the light fixture itself, since it's screwed into the metal box with metal screws. Our range of screws not only work better than other types of foundations, they are faster to install, more eco-friendly, and deliver a more cost-effective solution.

No Water Usage: Concrete piers require water for mixing concrete, whereas our foundations do not, reducing water usage. While it is unlikely that those things would happen, why take the chance when it is an easy job to rewire? Assessing Underlying Soil: It’s important to assess the soil beneath the tarmac to ensure it can provide sufficient support and stability. If you have a micro ohm meter and purposely tighten then loosen connections the force to tighten is a LOT less than the force to maintain. Our screws come in lengths from 800mm to 2050mm, to be able to create strong and stable foundations in most soil types and for a wide variety of projects.Once installed fix your chosen bracket to the ground screw using carbon steel self-drilling screws 5.
