E-Z-Ground Grounding Connectors

Compression Method Grounding Connectors save 5075% in time and labor costs.
Eliminates exothermic welding Reduces labor and labor costs Minimize possibility of poor connections
Grounding
Thomas & Betts introduces a method of compression to replace exothermic welding and its associated disadvantages. This compression method is designed to provide quick, reliable connections for grid grounding at significantly lower installed costs because compression connectors install in less time, in any weather, and are unaffected by moisture, reducing downtime. In addition, our compression connectors for grid grounding require no special training for installation. They are made of high-conductivity wrought and cast copper, and are used for connecting and tapping cross grid, loop lines and ground rods for direct burial or concrete embedded ground grid systems. The Thomas & Betts compression system uses standard electrical connector installation tools.
Meets all applicable specifications

Thomas & Betts grid and ground rod connectors satisfy the requirements of NEC 250-50 for connecting to the Grounding Electrode System. They also meet the requirements of UL Std. 467, UL Std. 486 CSA Std. C22.2 No. 41 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 65 being acceptable as grounding and bonding equipment suitable for direct burial. Thomas & Betts grid and ground rod connectors also satisfy the recommended practice for the selection of grounding connector joints described in IEEE 837 standard for qualifying permanent connections used in substation grounding. The connectors conform to the following IEEE Standard 837 requirements:
This installation method results in a long-lasting low installed cost connection. You can install it and forget it. Before compression, typical cable connector cross section of cable and connector consists of about 75% metal and 25% air. After Thomas & Betts method compression, the cross section shows 100% metal with virtually no air spaces.
350 C current cycling Freeze-thaw test Accelerated aging nitric acid/salt spray Mechanical, tensile and electromagnetic force (EMF) criteria Install in any weather cut downtime Enhance safety Easy to install no special training
The Thomas & Betts method, utilizing compression tools with matching dies, forms the connector and conductor into a solid, homogeneous mass to provide an optimum electrical bond between connector and conductor. The dies are designed to produce a circumferential, hex-shaped compression rather than a simple indent. The circumferential compression creates a large area of high-pressure contact between cable and connector which, in turn, ensures high conductivity, low resistance and high pullout values exceeding all industry requirements.

Thomas & Betts offers its complete line of grid-ground compression connectors. Our E-Z-Ground connectors are designed for direct burial and offer a safe, efficient alternative to exothermic welding products. Grid ground installations do not require explosive charges, and can be installed in various climate conditions. These range-taking products will reduce the number of connectors and dies needed for your installation.
Thomas & Betts E-Z-Ground products meet all applicable standards (IEEE837, UL467, CSA 22.2). Connectors are prefilled with oxide inhibitors and sealed.

Cuts installation time in half with results superior to conventional connectors. E-Z-Ground Bus Bar Connector
Unique, patented design Fast and easy installation Superior low-resistance, high-conductivity connections Installs with conventional compression tools Produces a permanent connection with any combination of copper from #6 to #2 solid or stranded conductor, to 14" copper bus bar Made from pure wrought copper and prefilled with oxide inhibitor UL Listed and CSA certified Insulated with die HDF
Grounding
E-Z-Ground Bus Bar Connectors install in less than 2 minutes with one easy crimp! The connector attaches directly to the bus, saving the labor-intensive process of drilling and tapping. The unique jaw interface of the E-Z-Ground Bus Bar Connector grips the copper bus, resulting in a low-resistance, high-conductivity connection. The E-Z-Ground Bus Bar Connector can be used in OEM applications or telecom applications cellular, PCS and others. It provides a continuous ground to the copper bus bar, making it ideal for hut and tower applications. The design enables installation in virtually any position, horizontal or vertical, and is suitable for inside and outside plant use. Installation can be completed using any T&B compression tool that accepts U-shaped die sets and is rated 12-ton or higher.

A snap to assemble no special tools required. Grounding SnapTap Connector
Designed for bonding and grounding applications using copper, steel strand and ground rod Easily installed with channel locks or pliers Made from high-strength aluminum alloy with tin plating Offers excellent electrical and mechanical characteristics UL467 tested exceed performance requirements
With the SnapTap Connector, you can achieve an electrically superior, pressure-fit connection in seconds without expensive tooling. The connector is also easy to disassemble, requiring only a flat-head screwdriver to release the connected body. A one-piece design keeps parts together, minimizing loss of components prior to assembly. Simply separate the pieces and snap them in place for installation. An audible snap indicates that the connection is complete and properly installed.
General Usage Instructions Separate

No special tools required. Use ordinary parallel jaw pliers to separate the connector into two parts. Hold one side of connector with pliers and bend opposite side back and forth until parts separate (see Fig. 1). Caution: Be careful not to pinch fingers or thumb when separating parts. Keep fingers out of bend path when bending part against plier jaws.
Installation
1. Strip the insulation from each conductor. Be careful not to nick the conductor. Clean the conductor ends with a wire brush or emery cloth if necessary. 2. Place each conductor into the grooves in BODY piece. Press conductors with pliers to align and seat into grooves (see Fig. 2). 3. Hold the conductors and BODY piece until it stops. Use parallel jaw pliers and grip the SNAP and BODY pieces as shown (see Fig. 3). Apply pressure until connector snaps into place. Visually inspect snap to verify full insertion. The connection is now complete (see Fig. 4).
