IMO, Square D packages a lousy or almost non-existent installation manual with this panel. If you look carefully you can see the threaded hole in the can, behind it. The bonding screw goes in at the far right side of that aluminum band. There is an aluminum band which extends across the top of the panel, just above the main breaker, and it's about 1/2'-5/8' high by maybe 9-10' long. or 4020 main breaker panel, the bonding screw goes in at the top right - just to the right of the right side hot wire line lug. It turns out that FrenchElectrician said it exactly right! Thanks to MisterZ, brric, and FrenchElectrician, I finally figured this out. But that defeats the very purpose of a DIY forum doesn't it?:huh:Įither way, I really appreciate your advice on where to find the pesky bonding screw location, as I was looking in the wrong place, and still don't see the right one! On the other hand if you don't feel comfortable with DIY folks doing electrical work, then perhaps that category should be removed from this and all DIY forums, and all those questions and advice should be reserved for pros. It seems that you would be enthusiastic about helping DIY folks get their installations just right. It is awesome that you give such great advice, however you might save us of any implicit criticism about what home centers might or might not sell. That is, it is intended for do-it-yourselfers, and not for pros.

It seems to me that the name if this forum is 'diychatroom'. Just like we could not save all those bootleggers who broke the law during prohibition. We can't help or save those who do non-compliant work. Petey, I'm sure you have helped many folks with your expert electrical advice, and they all owe you a debt of gratitude! It is very kind of you.Īs we all know, panel installations must be inspected by an electrical inspector, so we know they will be safe and compliant when completed.
