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

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.
