Direct Burial Compression Grounding System
n
Wide range-taking ability and multi-conductor design provide flexibility
with a minimum number of parts, allowing for conductor to conductor,
conductor to rebar, and conductor to ground rod applications
n
Designed for the enhanced crimp process using patented technology
which meets IEEE Std 837
n
Slotted design allows quick and easy assembly of conductor to
connector using Panduit cable ties, included
n
Patented pre-applied conductive antioxidant compound ensures a
high quality mechanical and electrical bond, speeding installation
n
Color-coded and marked with Panduit die index numbers for proper
crimp die selection
n
UL 467 Listed and CSA 22.2 Certified for grounding and bonding
suitable for direct burial in earth or concrete when crimped with
Panduit or industry standard crimping tools and Panduit dies
n
Complies with vibration tests per MIL-STD-202G (METHOD 201A)
