It is commonly installed during new construction, electrical upgrades, or any situation where a compliant water bonding point must be added to meet code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Compatibility Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose This Fitting?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect the fitting and bonding lug annually for corrosion or loose connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify the bonding wire remains secure and intact to maintain electrical continuity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the fitting accessible for visual inspection; avoid burying it under decking or concrete.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf re-plumbing or renovating the pool, confirm the fitting remains submerged and continues to meet bonding requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PermaCast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46797801783471,"sku":"PB-2008","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6415\/2239\/files\/perma-cast-1-water-bonding-fitting-pb-2008-miscellaneous-4352894.png?v=1777067529","url":"https:\/\/freshized.com\/products\/permacast1waterbondingfittingpb2008pmcpb2008","provider":"Freshized","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
