Thanks for taking the time to comment Bob ! Fantastic!

wow!! Thanks Rudy!! you made my day!!

Pablo you won’t be unhappy. Work great and low profile makes them hardly noticeable

Jim Mathis thanks for taking the time to leave s reply Jim! Much appreciated

How did you bond the metal railing to the pool bonding?

Thanks so much Ron, Always appreciate positive feedback.

desertjedi Still solid too, almost two years

Glad it was helpful!

I wonder how you would even do that after the pool was built?

@@tonym2881 Most in ground pool rails have embedded anchor sleeves That are made to bond and can be retrofitted as well. Before doing anything you need to educate yourself or what actual pool bonding is because it’s not the same as grounding. I am not a electrician so I would highly recommend that if you have any questions to contact an expert and or a licensed electrician about bonding a pool. A pool can be bonded after the fact, but it can be very difficult and expensive. The question you have to ask yourself is is your family‘s life worth it.

@@Italian-Hillbilly Or what is the probability of danger. For instance the danger here is that electricity is used to run your pumps etc., and that an electrical current could reach your pool, but this is often negated in modern PVC piping. If there is no electrical path between the source of electricity and the pool, it is very doubtful an electrical current will reach the people in it. In this case drilling a ladder into the pool concrete is very unlikely to lead to an issue. But OVERALL Yes, you want your system to shut down if there is a short or connection, and you should be familiar with your pool and bonding.

That’s only if the rails are in the water. Water bonding for static shock is different than electrical bonding of pool equipment.

All metal parts within 10ft of the pool need to be bonded together. There is a risk of potential difference between any unbounded object and any bonded object

Thanks,, Exactly the right order, install, cocktail, enter jacuzzi, love it! Cheers. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Thanks for the feedback!!!

at 3:14 of the video I explain I'm using cement anchor bolts, that come with metal sleeves, and as you tighten the bolts in the sleeves, the sleeves expand anchoring the bolts. Thank you

So, you hammer the anchor in?

Thanks Cathy, I don't have a video on that. We sold the house, so I wanted to get it done before we sold, and it was a whirlwind time. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

once you drill you can attach a copper wire to the rail, then to the re-bar under the concrete, you might have to fish for it, then transient voltage has a place to go rather than a human -

lol Thanks Paul

Dwayne Green Thanks Dwayne! I appreciate you taking the time to comment

It was the length of the bolts that came with the handles

Thanks for the response Art. A rotodrill for drilling into stone or concrete. The lag bolts will tell you what size drill bit

I think there would be better anchors that would allow removing and re applying without compromising the strength

I went back quite a few inches making sure the handle was in good position for grabbing to get out. Amd lowering in. You have to go back a bit so the handle isn’t hanging over to far impeding movement in pool or jacuzzi

I'm told bonded, you are right. Thank You

Thank you SC Coastal Living, the house has been sold and the new owner removed the pool handles. What I would do different is make sure they were bonded

Ed Private just measured looks to be 32 inches hit the link and check listed dimensions. We love em

Cliff Yates is this it? Have you had any issues with rusting? Thank you. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M6EOOO6/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A3EY8IY6FYPB83&psc=1

Great video. Thanks for the help!!!

Custom built. Haven't looked into the Salt water, probably not though.. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm a pool builder here in Florida. We use composite handrails for existing pools that want to add a handrail. This way you don't have to ground it because there is no metal.

I don't think these types of lag bolts would be good to remove and replace as an ongoing thing. but I'm sure there are better anchors that would allow that without compromising strength

I was told this was the case by commenters. I went to my pool guy, and he didn't see how anyone could be electrocuted by this. I think the bonding is a simple process.

National Electrical code Equipotential bonding. 680.26 Bonding.(b)(5) Metal Wiring Methods and Equipment. Metal piping, fixed metal parts, observation stands, towers, platforms, or diving structures, as well as metallic surfaces of electrical equipment located within 5 ft horizontally of the inside walls of the pool, outdoor spa or hot tub, and within 12 ft above the maximum water level...

Thanks Ralph, I miss my pool, a little, we moved to the beach in Florida.. Enjoy, and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

@@CliffYates I ordered it, arriving on Saturday. Thanks again.

Yes they should be bonded

I'm not sure, but I had a 250lb plus friend pull himself right out with no visual stress on the handle

Thanks Hang Ten!! You will have no trouble putting these in, and you will be happy.

I forgot, but the bolts that come with it, designate a proper size drill bit

Thanks Luis ! Appreciate you taking the time to comment

Can't unfortunately

Am electrician can bond them without very much cement work.

Cliff Yates perhaps a ground rod pounded beneath the mounting hole would do the trick to ground the hand rail?

@@quantabyte Grounding and bonding are totally different things.

I put a link in the description that takes you to the Amazon page

Yes , bond and ground all electrical

Thanks man

I was told by one pool guy no, and another yes, I just did it to be on the safe side. I would say yes, I'm going to put a mention of this on the video

@@CliffYates Look up codes the answer is yes it needs to be bonded

Bonded, yes. Grounded, no.

@@PatCrow I wonder if this one would need to be bonded as well. I like the idea but how the heck can you bond that thing after a pool construction www.lowes.com/pd/Saftron-Saftron-SF-24-in-Single-Post-Polymer-In-Ground-Spa-Safety-Support-Rail-Gray/1002466774

@@tonym2881 you would have to locate the bond wire and cut the concrete and lay a bond wire connection to the handle. I just covered my handle with kool skins instead.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, Have a great day
