Should one weatherproof (i.e., tape) cadweld
connections (Cu to Cu) that will be buried?

I personally think it's a waste of time and material,
but if someone can explain why it's necessary (that
is, a good cadweld connection will have a lifetime
less than that of a Cu ground rod embedded in the same
soil type unless it is weather proofed...and how,
physically, that could happen), I could be pursuaded
otherwise.

73, and thanks for reading.

Jeff
