Ground Clamp for Perpendicular Burial
The Eritech EK17 is a bronze alloy grounding connector designed for perpendicular burial installations. It connects a single grounding wire to rebar or rod in below-grade applications. This mechanical clamp suits electrical contractors and utility installers who need a direct burial connection.
Accepts #4 to #8 Rebar and 1/2 in to 1 in Rod
The clamp accommodates grounding wires from 8 AWG solid to 2 AWG stranded. It fits rebar sizes #4 through #8 and ground rods from 1/2 inch to 1 inch in diameter. This range determines whether the clamp matches the specific conductor and electrode dimensions on site.
Single Wire Connection with UL Listing
The connector handles one grounding wire within the stated size range and is UL listed for the application. It does not support multiple conductors in a single clamp. Installations requiring more than one wire or larger electrode diameters will need additional or different hardware.
