All CADWELD
®
materials are produced to high
standards under stringent quality control. All
CADWELD connections are designed and tested
using CADWELD molds, welding materials, and
accessories.
In the absence of any standards, national or
international, we cannot accurately predict the
individual product standards of our competition,
either known or unknown. Therefore, mixing
of one manufacturer’s molds with another
manufacturer’s welding materials can predictably
leadtonishedweldsthatdonotmeetthe
standards of either manufacturer. After all, one of
the advantages of exothermic welding as a welding
process is the fact that it is pre-engineered.
All grounding system connections shall be made by
the CADWELD process. Connections shall include,
but not be limited to, all cable to cable splices,
T’s, X’s, etc.; all cable to ground rods, ground rod
splices, cable to steel and cast iron; and cable lug
terminations.
