The Original nVent ERICO Grounding & Bonding
An integral step of building a reliable system is putting the right products in the right places. nVent ERICO has invested in software to make this process more efficient. Give our team of experts your drawings and we can provide you with a Grounding Takeoff Quote.
Ground Rods
Copper-Bonded Ground Rods

nVent ERICO copper-bonded ground rods are the highest quality ground rods available today. We use a unique manufacturing process, which includes drawing the steel rod to size before the copper bonding process begins. This results in a straighter, harder steel core, making installation easier. nVent ERICO uses a continuous electro-plating process over the steel core that results in a permanent molecular bond that provides decades of reliable performance.
Stainless Steel Ground Rods

For use in highly-corrosive soils.
Chemical Ground Electrodes

Chemical ground electrodes provide a low impedance ground in locations of high soil resistivity and dry soil conditions. Used in conjunction with a bentonite backfill and nVent ERICO’s unique GEM material and Quickfill, the nVent ERICO chemical ground rod electrode systems provide a method to improve soil resistivity directly surrounding the electrode, and can replace multiple conventional ground rods. It maintains a low ground resistance, maintenance-free installation that dissipates lightning energy and other dangerous electrical fault currents, even in sandy or rocky soil conditions.
Solid Copper Ground Rods

Solid copper ground rods made of high conductive hard drawn bare copper.
Galvanized Ground Rods

Zinc-coated exteriors are hot-dip galvanized for solid protection against corrosion, in accordance with ASTM® specification A123. Surfaces are rigidly inspected to eliminate seams, slivers and other defects.
Connectors & Positioners
Ground Rod Connectors

While ground rods may be the last thing that electricity will flow through when it is exiting your grounding system, the installation and connection of those ground rods to the larger system is perhaps the most critical consideration for reliability and proper facility protection. nVent ERICO offers multiple methods of connecting ground rods to conductors, from our irreversible Hammerlock to cost-effective clamps in multiple configurations and sizes.
Grounding Busbar Connectors

Used to connect solid round conductors, including ERICO-CU-BOND Round Conductor, to grounding busbars
Structural Connectors

Conductor to Conductor Connectors

Pipe, Fence and Gate Connectors

Ensuring that a facility or structure is properly grounded can often require integration into the existing or planned environment around that facility. nVent ERICO offers a variety of clamps and connectors that help you affix and connect your grounding system’s conductors to pipes, fence posts and gates with ease.
Rebar Connectors

Many international standards require bonding to concrete encased electrodes (rebar) in grounding systems. The nVent ERICO range of rebar connections includes the heavy duty RC70 & RC100 that provide two connection points to the rebar. These heavy-duty rebar clamps features high-strength bronze alloy construction and are specially designed to bond to reinforcing bars (Rebar), but will also work as connections to steam pipes, handrails and similar metal structures.
Pedestal Connectors

Eliminates the need for separate mounting brackets for different pedestal types or sizes.
Rail Connectors

The nVent ERICO contact series of rail contacts provides a superior quality connection to the rail web with a very low contact resistance. The contacts are quickly and easily fitted by means of an insertion tool, regardless of weather conditions. Tested to the most demanding requirements of the Rail Industry Standards, nVent ERICO contact is the ideal solution for mechanically applied connections such as signal engineering, earthing (grounding), or traction return current.
nVent ERICO Railclips and Conductor Management Clips

nVent ERICO Railclips offer a versatile range of conductor management solutions that are designed to increase the useful lifetime of trackside cables and reduce the total project cost over time. The range provides a wide assortment of clips and accessories for all typical cable runs that reduce maintenance and improve wayside safety. nVent ERICO Railclips feature a multi-layer proprietary coating that provides optimal corrosion protection.
Lugs

A range of simple to use and install lugs including crimp and CADWELD lugs that can be used for a wide range of applications.

GEM Ground Enhancement Material
Ground Enhancement Material (GEM) is a superior conductive material that solves your toughest grounding problems. It is the ideal material to use in areas of poor conductivity, such as rocky ground, mountain tops and sandy soil. GEM dramatically reduces earth resistance and impedance measurements. Furthermore, GEM may reduce the size of the grounding system where conventional methods are unsatisfactory. Once installed, GEM is maintenance-free, not requiring periodic charging or the presence of water to maintain its conductivity.
Cathodic Protection

Quickfill No-Mix Ground Enhancing Backfill
nVent ERICO QUICKFILL NO-MIX GROUND ENHANCING BACKFILL

nVent ERICO Quickfill backfill material does not require mixing with water, providing dramatic savings on installation time and cost. Quickfill is designed to minimize dust and eliminate mixing. It is the ideal material to use in areas of poor conductivity such as rocky ground, mountain tops, and sandy soil. Once installed, Quickfill is maintenance-free, not requiring periodic charging.
