Cross-Reference & Application: 610-23136A
| Brand | Series / Part | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Burndy HYGROUND / HYTAP | YGHR-class* | irreversible compression grounding, UL 467, direct burial - supply-house pricing typically 2-3x CT $36.30 |
| 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: cable / 3/4 in rod.
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.
