Metallics CG20500 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Metallics CG20500 ground clip used for?
The CG20500 is a steel ground clip used to bond a bare equipment grounding conductor to a metal outlet or device box. It slips over the edge of the box and traps the ground wire against the metal, giving you a bond without needing a tapped ground screw hole. Metallics lists it for 10, 12 and 14 gauge conductors.
2) Will a CG20500 ground clip work with 12 AWG romex ground wire?
Yes. The CG20500 is sized for 10, 12 and 14 gauge ground conductors, which covers the bare ground in standard 14-2, 12-2 and 10-2 NM cable. Use one clip per box edge and push it down fully so the wire is pinched against the box metal.
3) Can I use a Metallics ground clip on a plastic or nonmetallic box?
No. The CG20500 clamps onto the metal edge of a box to make the bond, so it only works on steel outlet, device and handy boxes. Nonmetallic boxes are not bonded at the box, so the grounds are joined with a wire connector and pigtailed to the device instead.
4) Do I need a ground screw if I use the CG20500 clip?
No. The clip is the alternative to a tapped 10-32 ground screw. It bonds the conductor to the metal box by clamping over the box edge, which is useful on old boxes with no tapped hole or where the hole is stripped. If your box already has a usable tapped ground hole, a green 10-32 ground screw is the simpler route.
5) Is the CG20500 ground clip sold individually or in bulk?
The CG20500 is a single catalog item from Metallics covering the 10-12-14 gauge steel galvanized ground clip. Electricians typically buy these in quantity since a metal-box rough-in uses one per box.
