Hello
Do you always have to put the grounding wire through the screw in the clamp? Or can it connect to the pipe and the two outter most screws would hold it to the pipe via the clamp? #2 wire that has sheathing won’t fit through that small of a hole

Every clamp, like the one shown, that I have seen will take a number 2. Do not twist the wires as they must be perfectly aligned to fit into the hole. It is a very tight fit.

There is also a similar clamp but the wire just lays in.

That seemed exactly what I would need but I’m pretty sure that’s for rebar. I couldn’t find one like that for regular pipes.

The one shown is for water pipes also

I believe it is good for gas pipe. I think it needs to be a UL 467

Would you happen to know if this fits on 1 inch black gas pipe? I know it says 1 inch but the OD is about 1 1/4 and I can’t find ones like these that are 1 1/4 >

The one you posted states it is good for 1" pipe. If it says it will fit 1" pipe then I can only assume it will.

Ran to the Home Depot and got one. It fits but the screws only go half way through the threads on the clamp so don’t think it’s best for 1” gas pipe

There are larger clamps but the price is astronomical for them. They range from $40- over $100.
Go back to lowes and get some longer screws. I am surprised it doesn't fit.

I think I’m just going to cut the wire and put two clamps next to each other on the same pipe. I think that should be fine right? I have the larger clamps at hand anyways

Yes you could do that

I thought the grounding conductor had to be continuous.

You are thinking of a grounding electrode conductor. This is a bond wire not an electrode conductor.
