how to install Panduit Ground Clamp

Proper installation of a Panduit Bronze Ground Clamp is essential to achieve a solid, low-impedance ground path. Follow these guidelines to ensure a safe, compliant connection that performs reliably over time. Before starting, verify that the conductor size falls within the specified.365"–.575" range and that all related equipment is de-energized according to applicable codes and safety practices. Prepare the work area, inspect the clamp for any visible damage, and gather the necessary tools to secure the connection. Although installation steps can vary by project, the general approach is consistent with standard grounding practices and Panduit recommendations for durable bonding.

• Step 1: Power off the circuit and confirm that the area is safe for grounding work. Verify that you have the correct clamp size and that the conductor diameter is within the specified range (.365"–.575").
• Step 2: Position the clamp around the conductor or bonding point in a way that ensures full contact and a clean, low-resistance path to the grounding system. Remove any insulation or debris that could impede a solid bond.
• Step 3: Tighten the clamp using the appropriate driver or tool, applying firm, even torque to create a secure mechanical grip without damaging the conductor or clamp body. If the design includes a screw or bolt, ensure it seats fully and seats cleanly against the contact surfaces.
• Step 4: Connect the clamp to the grounding path or enclosure as dictated by the project’s grounding scheme. Maintain a direct, low-impedance bond and minimize any loose, exposed conductors that could create a point of corrosion or wear.
• Step 5: Inspect the installation for stability and continuity. Use a grounding tester or continuity check to verify a solid bond and re-tighten if necessary to maintain the desired impedance and reliability over time.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What wire sizes does this clamp support? A: The clamp is designed to accommodate conductors with a diameter range of.365" to.575". If your conductor falls within this range, the clamp should provide a secure and reliable ground connection when installed correctly.
• Q: Is this clamp suitable for outdoor or harsh environments? A: The bronze construction offers good corrosion resistance and conductivity, which favor outdoor or demanding environments. Always assess the specific environmental conditions and follow local codes and standards for outdoor grounding applications.
• Q: What tools are needed for installation? A: A standard driver or wrench appropriate to the clamp’s securing mechanism is typically used. Ensure you have the correct tool size for a secure torque without damaging the clamp or conductor, and follow best practices for safe grounding installations.
• Q: What does 4" IPS mean in this context? A: IPS stands for Iron Pipe Size. In this context, the clamp is designed to fit a 4" IPS conduit or mating path, aligning with common piping and conduit standards to facilitate integration into existing grounding systems.
• Q: Is this clamp compatible with other Panduit grounding accessories? A: Yes. The clamp is designed to integrate with Panduit grounding accessories and systems to ensure cohesive performance across a project. For best results, use components specifically recommended by Panduit for your grounding design.
