Cross-Reference & Application: Compression Grounding C-TAP Co
| Brand | Series / Part | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Burndy HYGROUND / HYTAP | YGHC33C29* | 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 |
*Cross by published conductor range - verify for your application. Trademarks belong to their owners.
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. UL 467 listed, rated for direct burial in earth or concrete.
How to crimp
Single crimp with a 12-ton class dieless or U-die hydraulic tool (Burndy Y35/Y750 class). CT stocks compatible crimp tools and dies.
