Had a question and doubt i can do it but will ask.If i need to extend a #4 AL ground wire(going to copper pipe) can i use a piece like this AL lug splicer or similar -or is it not allowed?[ATTACH=CONFIG]6123[/ATTACH]
I dont want to have to buy/install a 30+ ft new piece if i dont have to.

Although that is the perfect coupling lug for the job..... you can not extend a ground wire in an electrical service. It must be unbroken and unspliced from the panel to the water meter.

so the irreversable crimp to connect the 2 #4 al is NEC allowed to extend it to the pipe ?
( getting the tool is not a problem)
I did see that in nec 250.30 #1-4 when done as stated is allowed
