Splice 1 ground you need to splice all grounds?

First post here. I check the website everyday and have learned a lot from everything so I appreciate that. So my question is..... If you had 10 3/4" pipes going into a wire way and had to splice one circuit and the ground do you then have to splice all the grounds in the other conduits entering the raceway to? Assuming that all the other circuits are pulling straight through. I have heard it is a code but can't find the specific reference. You know how it goes everyone says it is a code but can't point it out...

Metal wireway is a raceway. While the wireway is required to be bonded, there is no requirement to bond EGC's to the wireway.

I think you are remembering parts of 250.148

250.148 Continuity and Attachment of Equipment Grounding Conductors to Boxes. Where circuit conductors
are spliced within a box, or terminated on equipment within or supported by a box, any equipment grounding conductor (s) associated with those circuit conductors shall be connected within the box or to the box with devices suitable for the use in accordance with 250.148(A) through (E).


Exception: The equipment grounding conductor permitted in 250.146(D) shall not be required to be connected to the other equipment grounding conductors or to the box.

In my opinion associated with is a key part.

I wonder, when is a wireway a box and when is it a raceway?
