Burndy GCRT1/0 Copper Mechanical Ground Connector, Cable to Rod or Rebar

Burndy's GCRT1/0 is a copper mechanical ground connector built to join grounding cable to a ground rod or rebar in electrical grounding-electrode systems. It accepts a 10 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper conductor and connects to a 1/2" to 3/4" ground rod or #3-#5 rebar, giving installers a single fitting that covers the most common grounding-electrode configurations found on commercial, industrial, and utility job sites. The mechanical connection design allows straightforward field installation without specialized crimping tools, making the GCRT1/0 a convenient choice for electricians who need a dependable connector on hand for multiple grounding-electrode scenarios.

Key Features

  • Conductor Range: Accepts 10 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper conductor for flexible grounding-cable sizing.
  • Ground Rod Connection: Fits 1/2" to 3/4" ground rods for secure electrode bonding.
  • Rebar Connection: Connects to #3-#5 rebar for concrete-encased (Ufer) grounding electrodes.
  • Durable Construction: Copper mechanical connector body with stainless steel hardware for long-term corrosion resistance in outdoor and underground service.
  • Mechanical Connection: Set-style mechanical connection speeds field installation without crimping tools.
  • Versatile Grounding Fitting: One connector body covers cable-to-rod and cable-to-rebar connections, reducing the number of part numbers electricians need to stock.

Why Burndy?

Burndy is a recognized name in electrical connectors and grounding hardware, and the GCRT1/0 reflects that standard with a copper connector body and stainless steel hardware built for demanding grounding applications. The connector's broad conductor and electrode range means fewer SKUs to stock while still meeting the specific grounding requirement in front of you. Choosing a Burndy mechanical ground connector helps ensure a secure, long-lasting bond between conductor and grounding electrode for reliable, code-compliant grounding installations.

Burndy GCRT1/0 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the Burndy GCRT1/0 ground connector accept?
The GCRT1/0 takes copper conductor from 10 AWG up to 1/0 AWG, so one connector body covers everything from a #8 or #6 grounding electrode conductor on a small service up through 1/0 on larger commercial feeders. That range is why electricians carry it instead of stocking a separate fitting per conductor size.
2) Will the Burndy GCRT1/0 clamp fit a 5/8 inch ground rod?
Yes. The GCRT1/0 is built for 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch ground rods, and 5/8 inch is the most common driven rod size for electrical services, so it falls right in the middle of the range.
3) Can I use the GCRT1/0 connector on rebar for a Ufer ground?
That's one of the two jobs it's made for. The GCRT1/0 lands a copper grounding conductor on #4 to #5 rebar for a concrete-encased (Ufer) electrode, the same body that handles cable-to-rod connections. If the rebar in your footing is larger than #5, this isn't the right fitting.
4) Do I need a crimping tool or hydraulic press to install the Burndy GCRT1/0?
No tooling beyond hand tools. It's a mechanical, set-screw style termination, so you strip the conductor, seat it against the rod or rebar, and torque the hardware down. That's the practical difference from a compression or exothermic connection, which needs a die set or a mold and weld metal.
5) Is a mechanical ground connector like the GCRT1/0 okay for direct burial or an outdoor rod?
It's built for it. The GCRT1/0 has a copper connector body with stainless steel hardware, which is what keeps the bolt from seizing or corroding away in a ground rod pit or a direct-buried application. Copper on copper-clad rod also avoids the dissimilar-metal problem you get with a plated steel clamp.
6) What is the difference between a cable-to-rod ground clamp and a cable-to-rebar connector, and does the GCRT1/0 do both?
They're usually separate part numbers: a rod clamp is sized to a round driven electrode, a rebar connector is sized to a deformed bar in a footing. The GCRT1/0 covers both in one body, taking a 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch rod or #4 to #5 rebar with the same 10 AWG to 1/0 AWG conductor range. For a contractor working both the footing pour and the service ground, that's one SKU on the truck instead of two.
7) Which Burndy part number do I order for a cable-to-rod ground connector up to 1/0?
Order Burndy GCRT1/0. It's a single catalog number from the GCRT ground connector family, no handing, size, or finish options to specify on the order.
8) Where can I get the manufacturer spec sheet for the Burndy GCRT1/0?
Burndy publishes a spec sheet for the GCRT1/0 at https://hubbellcdn.com/specsheet/BRDY-GCRT10-SPEC-EN.pdf. Useful if your inspector or engineer wants the manufacturer document attached to the grounding submittal.
