EZGround™ Connectors can be safely installed in half the time, with fewer components, and in all weather conditions. The range-taking capability of each EZGround™ series connector translates to fewer parts needed to complete the ground grid. EZGround™ Compression Connectors are installed using the “T&B Method,” which produces an easily inspectable die embossment on the connector indicating that the proper tool has been used and successful crimp has been made. EZGround™ carries the “T&B Method” mark of approval and represents the connection of choice for faster, simpler and safer ground grid system installations. Meets all applicable specifications Thomas & Betts grid and ground rod connectors satisfy the requirements of NEC® Article 250 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 the IEEE 837 standard for qualifying permanent connections used in substation grounding. The connectors conform to the following IEEE Standard 837 requirements: • 350° C current cycling • Freeze-thaw test • Accelerated aging — nitric acid/salt spray • Mechanical, tensile and electromagnetic force (EMF) criteria NEC and National Electrical Code are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association, Inc. Reliable installations through compression connections 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 pull-out values exceeding all industry requirements. Before Compression After Compression 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.

Our EZGround™ 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. 1 C-Taps 7 Lug 2 Figure 8 Connector 8 Splice/Two-Way Connector 3 Steel Grounding Stud TBG Series 9 Grounding Plate 4 Figure 6–8 Connectors 10 Pigtail Connectors Thomas & Betts EZGround products meet all applicable standards (IEEE 837, UL® 467, CSA 22.2).

The connector attaches directly to the bus, saving the labor-intensive process of drilling and tapping. The unique jaw interface of the EZGround ™ Bus Bar Connector grips the copper bus, resulting in a low-resistance, high-conductivity connection. The EZGround ™ 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. 18 United States Tel: 901.252.8000 800.816.7809 Fax: 901.252.1354 Technical Services Tel: 888.862.3289 Use this side of the connector only when using two wires. 1.03" Cat.

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.

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 de-energized conductor. Be careful not to nick the conductor. Clean the conductor ends with a wire brush or emery cloth if necessary. 2.
