The Figure 8 Compression Ground Rod Connector is a high-strength copper alloy fitting designed for bonding two continuous parallel conductors to a 1/2" ground rod. Engineered for direct burial applications and compact enough for easy taping, this connector serves electrical installations where space constraints and environmental exposure are factors. Pre-filled with anti-oxidant compound, it maintains conductivity over time without field preparation. Dual UL listings for grounding and lightning protection make it suitable for service entrances, substations, and lightning protection systems requiring 600V/90°C rated connections.

FAQ
What does "2 - 250 MCM" mean for cable sizing?
This connector accommodates two conductors ranging from 2 AWG up to 250 MCM each. Both conductors must fall within this range and are installed in parallel through the Figure 8 configuration.
Is this connector suitable for direct burial without additional protection?
Yes. The connector is rated for direct burial as manufactured. The pre-filled anti-oxidant compound inhibits corrosion at the compression interface.
What is the difference between UL 467 and UL96 listings?
UL 467 covers grounding and bonding equipment for electrical systems. UL96 specifically certifies the connector for lightning protection system components. This dual listing permits use in both standard grounding electrode conductor applications and NFPA 780 lightning protection installations.
