Thomas & Betts GUV5825 U-Bolt Grounding Clamp

Description:

The Thomas & Betts GUV5825 U-Bolt Ground Clamp is used to provide a secure electrical grounding connection between copper grounding conductors and ground rods, pipes, or rebar in grounding and bonding systems. Commonly installed in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, substations, utility installations, telecommunications sites, and power distribution systems where reliable grounding is essential. Maintenance electricians, electrical contractors, and system integrators use this ground clamp for new grounding installations, equipment maintenance, grounding system upgrades, and replacement of existing mechanical grounding connectors.

Applications:

The Thomas & Betts GUV5825 is designed to mechanically and electrically bond copper or copper-clad steel grounding conductors to ground rods, pipes, or reinforcing steel. Its cast/forged copper alloy body and stainless steel U-bolt provide excellent corrosion resistance and long-term electrical continuity, making it suitable for direct burial in earth or concrete. It is widely used in electrical service grounding, lightning protection systems, substations, utility grounding grids, telecommunications infrastructure, and industrial grounding applications.
