Made to order. Utility-spec irreversible grounding connectors ship from our production line, typically 6-8 weeks. Volume pricing: trade desk.
The C-TAP Compression Grounding Connector provides a mechanical grounding connection between a main run conductor and a smaller tap conductor. Designed for commercial and industrial electrical systems, this connector is used in grounding grids, equipment bonding, and lightning protection applications where a reliable low-resistance path to ground is required.

FAQ
What compression tool is required for installation?
Use an industry-standard compression tool with dies appropriate for the connector size and conductor combination. The tool must be capable of producing the compression force specified by the connector manufacturer to achieve UL467 compliance.
Is this connector suitable for aluminum conductors?
The source specifies copper conductor material only. For aluminum conductor compatibility, consult the manufacturer or select a connector explicitly rated for aluminum or copper/aluminum combinations.
Cross-Reference & Application: 610-24106
| Brand | Series / Part | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Burndy HYGROUND / HYTAP | YGHC29C26 | irreversible compression grounding, UL 467, direct burial - supply-house pricing typically 2-3x CT $25.85 |
| Panduit StructuredGround | compression grounding series* | match by conductor range |
| nVent ERICO | Cadweld (exothermic alt.) | weld-based alternative - compression installs faster, no powder/mold |
Where & why irreversible compression
NEC 250.64(C) requires grounding electrode conductors to be continuous or joined with irreversible compression connectors or exothermic welding - standard mechanical clamps are not permitted for buried or concealed GEC splices. These UL 467 listed connectors are rated for direct burial in earth or concrete. Range: 3/0-250 MCM / 6-2/0 AWG tap.
How to crimp
Single crimp with a 12-ton class dieless or U-die hydraulic tool (Burndy Y35/Y750 class, index per size). CT stocks compatible crimp tools and dies at distributor pricing - the same tool runs our full lug and grounding line.
