The figure-8 profile accommodates two continuous parallel conductors in a compact form factor suited for tight spaces. Pre-filled with anti-oxidant compound, it eliminates field preparation for corrosion-resistant terminations. Common applications include service entrance grounding, lightning protection systems, and direct-buried electrode connections where reliable low-impedance bonding is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround rod size: 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable range: 2\/0 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-strength copper alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage\/temperature rating: 600V \/ 90°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-filled with anti-oxidant compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: supports two continuous parallel conductors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL 467 listed (grounding and bonding)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL 96 listed (lightning protection)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCross-Reference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquivalent to Burndy, Blackburn, and Panduit figure-8 ground rod connectors for 1\/2\" rod and 2\/0 AWG cable applications.
