Nodeh Beyehuda 137, Chatom Sofer 217-218, Igrot Moshe 1:115-6 hold that the kli needs to be both (1) mechuber l'karka and (2) made to be meshamesh karka so that it isn't mekabel tumah. However, Gidulei Tahara (cited by Mikveh Mayim p. 181) holds that it is sufficient for it to be mechuber l'karka even if it isn't made to be attached to the ground. </ref> | ||
# If a new metal piece (such as a pipe) is bought brand new and it isn't clear if it was made to be used for the ground, some say that it isn't mekabel tumah since it was made with no intentions at all.
