Bless You! Thank you SO much for this video- I have watched countless hours of how to's and YOU are the only one who showed the exact set-up that I have and did it so well! I installed the fixture, FINALLY and (crossed fingers) the house hasn't blown up yet:) Your time doing this video is VERY appreciated:)

Good description on how to use a grounding clip. Thank you. If I had to choose, I would feel more secure with a grounding screw.

I agree with you. I, too, believe a better bond would result if one used a grounding screw. I have found that some of the older (decades ago) metal boxes, that were not properly grounded when installed, did not have the typical preformed pressed metal grounding point (the currently sold metal boxes usually (but not all) have a preformed pressed metal grounding point designed for a grounding screw. For such older metal boxes missing the grounding point, I use the clips illustrated in the KZitem above.

They will both equally bond the ground safely. Not all boxes have a ground hole, and not all installations will tolerate a ground screw sticking out the back of the box. I've also found ground screws stripped and not doing much bonding. Feel safe with either, properly installed.

Very helpful video. Thank you for posting it. My apartment metal box is quite old, with no ground wire available in the pipe attached to it. There are no ground wires in any of the pipes that are attached to my electrical boxes. An electrician once told me, the reason there are no ground wires is because the insulated wires encased in metal pipes are ground by default. This is the case for my entire building. Are these clips necessary if I add a ground screw to the back of the metal box and wrap a copper wire j-hook around it, and then wrap the other end around the ground screw on the receptacle? Will this method give me added redundancy? Thank you.

You should buy a cheap outlet tester and see if it shows your outlets are properly grounded. There might be a strap behind the mounting screw that grounds it to the metal conduit.

Wow. I haven't seen any box clips in perhaps 30 years now. They used to be required to connect the bond wire in bx to the box. Never seen one used to ground a normal copper wire. Most metal boxes have a threaded hole in the back of the box for a ground screw which makes a far better ground.

Thank you for your helpful comments. It is very true that modern boxes are equipped with the threaded hole (sometimes with a rounded elevated indentation the size of a dime). I agree that using the modern metal boxes with the threaded ground screw does make a far better bond. For some reason, maybe my family's tendency to squirrel away parts forever, all my metal boxes are "old school" not having the threaded hole for a proper ground screw.

@@takeachanceonme4 Most of the older boxes have holes drilled in the back. Come to think of it I've never seen one that doesn't. Use a tri-tap to thread one and use the green stinger.
