Ground Rod Clamp
A ground rod clamp is an underground electrical fitting that is used for connecting the bearing section of the ground rod to the ground cable. The rod ensures that the ground cable is properly grounded and the clamp comes in handy in completing this connection.
The ground rod is made of forged heavy-duty steel to withstand the vagaries of nature since it is exposed outside to the ground condition.
Ground rod clamps come in different diameters. Your choice will depend on the diameter of the grounding conductor and the ground rod.
The apt design of the ground rod clamp ensures that it establishes a stable and strong connection with both the ground rod and the ground cable. It achieves this goal without interfering with the functionality of the grounding cable.

Frequently asked questions
What are parts of the ground rod clamp？
A typical clamp comprises a frame and a hex bolt. The bolt passes through the hole to implement the clamping process.
How does a ground rod clamp work?
The working mechanism of a ground rod clamp is pretty simple. Once the ground cable and the ground rod are positioned next to each other, the hex bolt is rotated until there is an unbreakable connection between the cable and the rod. However, the clamp does not in any way interfere with the working of the rod or even the cable.
Applications of ground rod clamp?
The ground rod clamp is a common feature in most electrical installations, both commercial and domestic installations. As long as the installation requires grounding and has rods, it will be necessary to install these clamps.
What accessories are used with the ground rod clamp?
The clamp is used with a hex head bolt which is properly threaded. Since the clamp features some threads, it is easy to connect the bolt to eat when clamping the rod to the ground cable.
What are the features of the ground rod clamp？
A ground rod pump is strong and durable. It is made of heavy-duty metal that can easily survive all forms of destructive forces. The clamp is also galvanized hence is resistant to rust and other chemical causes of damage.
The ground rod clamp is accurately sized to fit onto the ground when clamping the ground conductor. The design of the clamp makes it easy to connect with the rod.
