"All metal fittings within or attached to the pool structure shall be bonded. Isolated parts that are not over 100 mm ( 4in.) in any dimension and do not penetrate into the poll structure more than 25 mm (1 in.) hall not require bonding."
Does that mean that if an isolated part is over 4", but does not penetrate the pool structure by more than 1", it also does not require bonding?

1. The part must be isolated.
2. The part must not be larger than 4 in.
3. The part must not penetrate into the pool structure more than 1 in.
If any of these conditions are not true, bonding is required.
RE: Explanation of NEC article 680.26 section 3
If it pentrates by more than 1" OR if it's bigger than 4" then it does require bonding.
If you violate EITHER condition, then you need to bond it.

I read your other post in the corrosion forum.
What are the large structures for, or can't you say?
The corrosion guys seemed to have got a handle on the corrosion potential.
Is it a swimming pool or do we evacuate the fish because of zinc poisoning?
RE: Explanation of NEC article 680.26 section 3
It is a pool (ie. chlorinated water). People will be swimming in it. There will be no fish.
As far as what the structures are lets just called it a large mechanical device with a lot of moving parts.
The SST pins are at the pivots.
