Claim:
A ground fitting comprising: a wire clamp having a wire clamp centerline residing parallel with wires held by the wire clamp, and a first mating surface, the wire clamp comprising: an armored cable sheath clamp portion for grasping an armored cable sheath end inserted into the wire clamp; and a ground wire clamp portion behind the armored cable sheath clamp for grasping a ground wire carried in the armored cable sheath; a pipe clamp having a pipe clamp centerline residing parallel with a pipe held by the pipe clamp, the pipe clamp comprising: a pipe clamp top portion having a second mating surface cooperating with the first mating surface for attachment of the wire clamp to the pipe clamp; and a pipe clamp bottom portion connected to the pipe clamp top portion to sandwich a pipe in the pipe clamp for forming an electrical connection between the ground fitting and the pipe, wherein the wire clamp is rotatably attached to the pipe clamp by cooperation of the first mating surface and the second mating surface to allow changing the orientation of the wire clamp centerline with respect to the pipe clamp centerline.
