nVent ERICO Grounding and Bonding

nVent ERICO offers an innovative and comprehensive grounding and bonding lineup, that includes exothermic, compression, and mechanical solutions. With nVent ERICO, you will have the right solution for every application, ensuring reliable and high-quality results.

COMPRESSION GROUNDING SOLUTION
nVent ERICO PermaGround Connectors

nVent ERICO PermaGround systems utilize pure wrought copper extrusions. This prevents corrosion due to dissimilar metals and are pre-filled with inhibiting compound.

• Compression tools and die together with connection provide a full system of connections
• Irreversible permanent connections and can be used below or above ground
• Suitable for direct burial in concrete or ground

EXOTHERMIC SOLUTION
nVent ERICO Cadweld Plus

nVent ERICO Cadweld Plus exothermically welded connections are engineered to provide a permanent, molecular bond that will not loosen or corrode. The connections are designed to maintain for the life of the conductor and/or installation.

• Connections are made with inexpensive, lightweight equipment without the need for any special skills
• Connections have same current handling capability as the conductor

MECHANICAL SOLUTION
Ground Rods and Accessories

nVent ERICO offers GEM Ground Enhancement Material, a low-resistance, non-corrosive, carbon dust-based material that improves grounding effectiveness, especially in areas of poor conductivity. Also offered is nVent ERICO Quickfill No-Mix Ground Enhancing Backfill, which reduces resistance to ground and is designed to minimize dust and eliminate mixing.

nVent ERICO indoor grounding solutions include Design Assistance & Training, Ground Bars, Indoor Grounding & Outdoor System Design and Mesh Bonding Network.

nVent ERICO PermaGround
COMPRESSION GROUNDING SOLUTION

Offers a full-line of high quality copper extruded compression connector products for all your grounding applications.

• Permanent secure irreversible connection
• Each connector is designed so it can be used in multiple configurations for versatility
• Quick and easy time saving installation due to repeatable connections made in a matter of minutes
• Anti-oxidant coating pre-applied on all connectors
• Installation can be done with compression tools and are the same tools used with power connections
• Full-line of compression dies compatible with different type of tools
• Connectors dual marked with imperial and metric conductor ranges, part number, required die number and number of crimps required

C-CRIMPS
C-crimps are used to join two grounding conductors together in a grounding system with a compression tool. The C-crimps are made of high strength conductive copper.

E-CRIMPS
E-crimps are used to put two wire conductors together with a compression tool in a grounding system making them suitable for larger conductors. The E-crimps are made of high strength conductive copper.

ILSCO U-DIES
The U-Dies fit into the jaw of the nVent ILSCO 12-Ton (130 kN) crimping tool and are made out of hardened stainless steel for durability and long life. Effortlessly produce secure connections with the nVent ILSCO U-Dies, nVent ILSCO tools, and nVent ERICO PermaGround C & E Compression Connectors.

ILSCO TASKMASTER 12-TON TOOL
nVent ILSCO TaskMaster tools – 12-Ton (130 kN) Crimping Tool is a pistol grip crimping tool for the nVent ERICO Compression Grounding Connectors line. The C, E crimps are compatible with this tool in addition with the nVent ILSCO Dies.

NEW:  nVent ERICO PermaGround Figure 6-crimp

nVent ERICO PermaGround Figure 6-crimp connector is part of the nVent ERICO PermaGround Connectors line. Figure 6-crimps are used to connect two grounding conductors or a grounding conductor to a ground rod in a grounding system using a compression tool. The Figure 6-crimp connectors are made of high-strength conductive copper. This ensures a low-resistance connection that eliminates the effects of corrosion resulting in longevity of the connection.

• Compatible for a wide range of conductors and ground rods due to the nature of the Figure 6-crimp connector’s design
• Dies are interchangeable with compression tools from nVent and other manufactures
• The Figure 6-crimp connector is designed to be versatile for many different job site applications and conductor configurations
• Quick and easy installation due to repeatable connections that can be made in a matter of minutes
• The applied oxide inhibitor contains flecks of copper providing improved pull-out strength and reduced operating temperatures for copper terminations
• Installation dies leave an embossment on the finished connection for positive inspection
• Tested in accordance with UL 467 and CSA certification
