Perma-Cast PB-2008 Water Bonding Fitting – 1″ NPT Bronze
Part # PB-2008 — a UL-listed water bonding fitting designed to help pool and spa systems meet NEC 680.26(C) bonding requirements. This solid bronze fitting provides the required conductive contact area with the pool water, connecting the water to the equipotential bonding grid for increased safety and code compliance.
Key Features
- 1″ NPT male threaded bronze fitting designed for long-term corrosion resistance.
- Provides over 10.6 square inches of conductive water contact area to meet bonding standards.
- UL-listed for intentional bonding of pool and spa water.
- Suitable for installation on return lines, skimmer lines, or dedicated bonding tees.
- Compact, durable design ideal for new construction or retrofits.
Typical Applications
This fitting is used when a pool, spa, or water feature requires an intentional water bond to the equipotential grid. It is commonly installed during new construction, electrical upgrades, or any situation where a compliant water bonding point must be added to meet code.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Turn off pump power and relieve system pressure before installation. Choose an accessible section of plumbing where the fitting will remain submerged during normal operation. Apply a pool-safe thread sealant to the 1″ NPT threads and install the fitting securely. Attach the bonding conductor to the provided bonding lug using #8 solid copper wire and a listed connector. Ensure all connections are tight and confirm the fitting is positioned at least 3″ below water level for continuous water contact.
Why Choose This Fitting?
The PB-2008 offers a reliable, long-lasting solution for achieving pool water bonding. Its solid bronze construction resists corrosion, and its compact design makes it easy to integrate into existing plumbing. Using a proper water bonding fitting helps ensure electrical safety, reduces stray voltage, and aligns with professional installation standards.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the fitting and bonding lug annually for corrosion or loose connections.
- Verify the bonding wire remains secure and intact to maintain electrical continuity.
- Keep the fitting accessible for visual inspection; avoid burying it under decking or concrete.
- If re-plumbing or renovating the pool, confirm the fitting remains submerged and continues to meet bonding requirements.
