ERICO Ground Rods
Many hams are misinformed about the importance of proper grounding. It's paramount for safety and station efficiency to have an excellent grounding system. In any grounding system, the ground electrode provides the physical connection to the Earth and is the essential instrument used to dissipate current. ERICO Ground Rods provide the superior Earth connections you need! ERICO has decades of experience and offers a complete line of ground rods to meet Amateur Radio and industry needs. ERICO Ground Rods have these great features: * 99.9 percent pure electrolytic copper coating * Manufactured of high strength 1018 cold drawn steel * Specifically manufactured to work with other ERICO/CADWELD products, like ONE SHOT * Molecular bond to nickel-sealed high strength steel core * Copper coating will not crack when bent or tear when driven * Rods have a high carbon steel core and tip that provide superior strength when driving * Resist corrosion better than galvanized rods allowing for approximately 30-year service life in most soils * Minimum tensile strength of 80,000 psi and straightness tolerance of .010 in. per linear foot * State of the art manufacturing process helps ensure uniform plating thickness * ERICO name, length, diameter and part number is roll-stamped within 12 in. (304.8 mm) of chamfered end * UL logo and control number where applicable stamped on each rod for easy inspection after installation * Minimum copper coating of 10 mils on Rods Listed To Meet UL 467 * Exceed the requirements of ANSI®/UL® 467, CSA, and ANSI/NEMA GR-1 ERICO Ground Rods are a vital part of your station and antenna grounding systems. These superior ground rods will guarantee an efficient Earth ground and enhance your station's safety and efficiency. Order your ERICO Ground Rods from DX Engineering!

ERICO CADWELD ONE SHOT Wire to Ground Rod Clamps
ERICO CADWELD ONE SHOT Wire to Ground Rod Clamps produce a non-removable, permanent, exothermic connection to a ground rod that will not loosen, corrode or increase in resistance for the life of the installation. They are not clamps, but replace a clamp with a welded connection that thermally fuses the wire to the ground rod. ONE SHOTs include convenient, single-use (one shot) ceramic molds that eliminate the need for handle clamps and/or frames. These exothermic connections are ideal for threaded or non-threaded copper-bonded steel, galvanized or stainless steel ground rods. ERICO CADWELD ONE SHOTs are also: * NEC compliant, cULus Listed * Rural Utilities Service (RUS) accepted CADWELD ONE SHOTs have been used for making permanent and reliable connections to ground rods for telecommunications, broadcast stations, cable television applications and electrical transmission and distribution. Builders in those applications have long known the value and quality of CADWELD systems. Any outdoor connection made by mechanical clamping methods begins to degrade from day one. Since World War II, CADWELD has provided the industry standard against which all other ground connections are measured. No invention or innovation has proved to be better. Now you may use CADWELD ONE SHOTs to ensure the best, most reliable and superior ground connection for your Amateur Radio station! Note: The use of these products generates extreme heat. Please follow all ERICO CADWELD instructions carefully to ensure safe and successful application of their product.

ERICO Flint Ignitors
ERICO Flint Ignitors are used to ignite the starting material when making a traditional ERICO CADWELD connection or a LENTON CADWELD rebar connection. The ignitor allows you to start the CADWELD process safely and with positive results. Useable with CADWELD ONE SHOTS and most other CADWELD exothermic welding processes, these ignitors are the ERICO recommended starting method. Order your ERICO Flint Ignitors from DX Engineering.

ERICO CADWELD ONE SHOT Cable To Cable
ERICO CADWELD ONE SHOT Cable To Cable bonding kits thermally fuse grounding cables together and produce a non-removable, permanent, exothermic connection between ground cables that will not loosen, corrode or increase in resistance for the life of the installation. Included with each ONESHOT Cable to Cable kit is a convenient, single-use (one-shot) ceramic mold that eliminates the need for handle clamps and/or frames. Any outdoor connection made by mechanical clamping methods degrades from the day installed.

ERICO Hammerlock Ground Clamps
ERICO Hammerlock Ground Clamps form an irreversible mechanical connection between the grounding conductor and the ground rod. Machined from highly conductive copper, the state-of-the-art Hammerlock makes a low-resistance connection designed to withstand ground fault currents, lightning transients—and will withstand the full current-carrying capacity of the conductor. The connector's mechanically rugged design provides visual confirmation of a completed connection and will ensure the highest level of performance for many years in the harsh underground environment. ERICO Hammerlock Ground Clamps allow for "T" or pass-through connections, and installation is as easy as swinging a hammer; no special tools or training are required.

ERICO CADWELD ONE SHOT PLUS Wire to Ground Rod Clamps
ERICO CADWELD ONE SHOT PLUS Wire to Ground Rod Clamps produce a non-removable, permanent, exothermic connection to a ground rod that will not loosen, corrode or increase in resistance for the life of the installation. ONE SHOT PLUS Wire to Ground Rod Clamps are not clamps, but replace a clamp with a welded connection that thermally fuses the wire to the ground rod. Unlike the standard ONE SHOT, these ONE SHOT PLUS devices use electronic ignition and require no spark igniter or starting material. The required electronic igniter is available separately. All ONE SHOTs include convenient, single-use (one-shot) ceramic molds that eliminate the need for handle clamps and/or frames. These exothermic connections are ideal for threaded or non-threaded copper-bonded steel, galvanized or stainless steel ground rods. ERICO CADWELD ONE SHOT PLUS exothermic welders are also: * NEC compliant, cULus Listed * Rural Utilities Service (RUS) accepted CADWELD ONE SHOT PLUS welders have been used for making permanent and reliable connections to ground rods for telecommunications, broadcast stations, cable television applications and electrical transmission and distribution.

ERICO CADWELD Exothermic Welding Materials
ERICO CADWELD exothermic welding materials are a mixture of copper oxide and aluminum, packaged by size, in plastic tubes. Each tube contains the starting material at the bottom of the plastic tube, with the weld metal on top. When emptied into a CADWELD mold, that places the starting material on the top. These welding materials are not explosive and are not subject to spontaneous ignition. Welding material containers are packaged in boxes along with a metal disk. Each weld application uses a disk to add metal to the weld. ERICO CADWELD exothermic welding materials product summary: * Mixture consists mainly of copper oxide and aluminum * Primarily used in grounding and bonding applications * Welding material is in the top of the tube and starting material is in the bottom of the tube * Packaged by size in plastic tubes with clear caps * Tubes are packaged in plastic boxes along with metal disks * Each welded connection uses a single disk * Non-explosive; not subject to spontaneous ignition * See specific ERICO CADWELD connection details to determine welding material and mold requirements DX Engineering now offers these welding materials for use in enhanced, high-quality grounding systems.
