    Grounding gfi outlet
    I have a gfi outlet I am installing but it doesn't want to work. Could this be a grounding issue and how do I ground this outlet? Can I ground it to the plumbing ?

    Be sure to hook power to the Line side, if protecting other outlets, connect those to the Load side.

    No, it is not a grounding issue.
    And NO, you cannot ground it to a plumbing pipe!

    Is it a metal box with conduit?
    Do you have a green or bare wire in box?
    If so, connect to that.
