Harger GO582SB Graphite Exothermic Welding Mold

Description:

The Harger UltraWeld GO582SB Ground Rod and Grounding Systems Mold is a graphite exothermic welding mold designed to create a permanent electrical connection between a #2 solid copper conductor and a 5/8-inch copper-clad ground rod. Commonly installed in grounding grids, lightning protection systems, substations, telecommunications facilities, and utility power installations requiring a horizontal through-cable to top-of-ground-rod connection. Electrical contractors and maintenance technicians use this mold to produce low-resistance, corrosion-resistant grounding connections that require no mechanical fasteners.

Applications:

The Harger UltraWeld GO582SB Mold is commonly used in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, renewable energy installations, telecommunications towers, electrical substations, and utility grounding systems where permanent grounding and bonding connections are required. Designed for repeated exothermic welds, the graphite mold produces consistent, high-conductivity connections that improve grounding system reliability and meet industry grounding standards. It requires an MH1 mold handle and uses US90 or NUWTUBE90 weld metal.
