| I'm adding a subpanel onto my GE TM2020CCU. The subpanel most likely will be a GE TLM1212CCU, for the purpose of feeding four electric baseboards (1500w and three 750 watts), and a water heater.
A GE THQL 2160 60-amp double pole breaker in the main panel
My questions: I plan on using a 4 inch long x 1.25 inch offset nipple between the two boxes. I'll be using #4 THHN to connect the two boxes. Should my ground be #4 BARE or Green? (Can it be #6? Is this a better way to provide ground to the subpanel (as opposed to grounding through the nipple)?

| Either bare or green is fine. Given the short run, I'd just run a grounding conductor between the two respective ground terminals. You only need a #10 ground here. You only need #6 for the feeder conductors as well. |
