DX Engineering UCGC-Z Universal Copper Grounding Clamps

DX Engineering Universal Copper Grounding Clamps, model DXE-UCGC-Z, are custom designed to provide a ground rod mounting solution for various types of lightning protectors commonly used for Amateur Radio. The "Z" design makes it easy to install and remove coaxial cable connectors. This ground rod clamp for surge protector mounting is ideal for permanent installations as well as for temporary installations, such as Field Day. The DXE-UCGC-Z Copper Grounding Clamp Features: - Mounts up to six protectors onto one ground rod - Fits common standard 5/8 in. through 3/4 in. diameter ground rods - Made from 1/16 in. thick Copper Alloy 110 for maximum conductivity -"Z" bends in the copper for easier installation and removal of coax connectors on protectors - Easy to assemble two-piece construction. Each plate is approximately 3-1/4 in. wide x 4-3/16 in. tall - Stainless Steel hardware is included: Four 1/4 in.-20 x 3/4 in. long hex head bolts, eight 1/4 in. flat washers, four 1/4 in.-20 Nyloc hex nuts - Using this copper clamp is faster and easier than building up the joint for an exothermic weld The DXE-UCGC-Z can easily mount up to six lightning protectors. The photo shows two DX Engineering and two PolyPhaser lightning protectors installed on a DXE-UCGC-Z mounted to a 5/8 in. diameter ground rod. Other lightning protection products can also be mounted, such as the DXE-IS-RCT Control Line Protector and Alpha Delta Lightning Protectors. Additionally, a solid copper strap from the station grounding bus bar may also be sandwiched between the copper plates of this clamp and the ground rod (not shown). An anti-seize compound such as JTL-12555 Jet Lube SS-30 Pure Copper Anti-Seize must be used on the threads to prevent galling or seizing of stainless steel hardware. All connections must be generously coated with a conductive joint compound to prevent moisture penetration and enhance conductivity. Properly weatherproofing coaxial cables and lightning protectors is important to ensure the longevity of the connection and maintain optimal performance. Prior to attaching the lightning protectors, install the coaxial cables to the lightning protectors and weather seal the PL-259 connectors using TES-2155 Temflex Rubber Sealing Tape with an overwrap of TES-06132 3M Super 33+ Vinyl Tape or 3M Scotch Super 88 Premium Vinyl Tape (TES-06143). These easily removable connector sealing tapes are now available in kits. The lightning protector bodies are not weatherproof and it is suggested to use a DX Engineering Weatherproofing Kits to permanently cover the body of the protectors. Some users have also suggested covering the entire assembly with a plastic food container or plastic trash bin As with all electronic equipment, take proper safety considerations. For example: Do not install if there is a storm anywhere in your area. Do not adjust or touch the grounding system equipment when there is a storm anywhere in your area. Make sure all power is removed before making any adjustments or working on any ground system or grounding components. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. Complete your coaxial cable grounding installation with DX Engineering UCGC-Z Universal Copper Grounding Clamps.

DX Engineering Copper Strap Bonding Clamps

DX Engineering Copper Strap Bonding Clamps are used for easy, mechanical attachment of grounding conductors or straps to each other or to ground rods. For your high performance grounding installations, we offer several copper clamp styles. The most popular, copper strap to copper-clad ground rod clamps fit nominal 5/8 through 3/4 in. rod sizes. DX Engineering's strap-to-strap styles bond two copper straps together--perfect for extending an existing run or adding drops to your equipment--and their strap-to-wire style clamps provide a convenient way to bond heavy-gauge copper wire (6 AWG to 1 AWG) to flat copper grounding straps. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. All copper bonding clamps include 18-8 stainless steel hardware. Make a bond for better lightning protection with DX Engineering Copper Strap Bonding Clamps!

DX Engineering Grounding Clamps

DX Engineering Grounding Clamps are used to connect wire grounding conductors of AWG 2 through 10 to a ground rod, tower leg or grounded pipe. These clamps are manufactured from cast bronze, a highly conductive copper alloy, and include high quality 1/4-20 stainless steel screws for maximum longevity and durability. These clamps also accept the stud from our IS-RCT control line protectors, to provide the proper protection of rotator control lines at the base of a grounded tower. Please note that pipe is measured by ID, not OD. For example, 1-1/4 pipe is much larger than 1-1/3 in. OD. DX Engineering Grounding Clamps are available in two sizes, to fit your grounding project. These are great general purpose grounding clamps to have on hand for future projects, so add a few to your order today!

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.

ROHN 25G/45G-Series Guy Anchor Grounding Kits

ROHN 25G/45G-Series Guy Anchor Grounding Kits are so important that they are included in each ROHN 25G and 45G complete tower package. However, when purchased from ROHN separately, this part number includes only the 30 ft. of 7/16 in. ground wire, three 10 ft. copper-clad 5/8 in. ground rods and three 3/4 in. ground rod clamps. The required R-CPC.5/.75 anchor rod clamps (three) that connect to the actual Guy Anchor Rod (and are needed to complete the grounding installation) are sold separately. Also, as these kits contain items 10 ft. in length, they can only ship truck freight. Tower grounding is the single most important effort in protecting your shack from lightning.
