I was under the impression that it is not OK to make a connection

Perhaps I am mistaken, or there is an exception for the EGC?


Tell me more about that. If that's really true, I'll have to redo a
lot of boxes before the building inspector shows up. I'll check into
it.


Well, I am far from an authority, so don't take my word on it, but I
would be curious to know what you find out. I think what I had read
was not to loop conductors around a screw terminal on a device
(receptacle, switch, and so on). But even if that's true, looping the
EGC around a ground screw may be fine.
