Blackburn G5-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the G5-1 ground rod clamp direct burial rated?
The G5-1 is a bronze ground rod clamp listed to UL 6B55. Bronze is the material specified for clamps used in direct earth contact, and the UL listing is what an inspector looks for on a rod connection at the service. Bronze body, bronze construction throughout the conductor path.
2) What is the Blackburn 5/8 inch ground rod clamp made of, and will it corrode in soil?
Bronze. That matters on a buried rod connection because bronze against a copper conductor and a copper-clad rod keeps the dissimilar-metal problem out of the joint. An aluminum or steel clamp in wet soil is where you get galvanic corrosion and a bad ground reading a few years on.
3) Is a G5-1 clamp the right way to land the grounding electrode conductor on a driven rod?
Yes, that is exactly what it is for. The G5-1 is a ground rod clamp, meaning it wraps the 5/8 inch rod and takes the grounding electrode conductor under a pressure screw. It is not a pipe bonding clamp and not a lay-in lug for a rack or panel, so do not substitute it for a water pipe bond or an equipment bonding jumper termination.
4) Does the G5-1 ground rod clamp come one per bag or in bulk?
The Blackburn G5-1 is packed one per bag and sold each, so ordering a quantity of ten gets you ten individually bagged clamps. Order by the count of rods you are landing, not by the box.
