Burndy GRL5 Ground Rod Clamp, Light Duty, Copper Alloy

Burndy GRL5 Ground Rod Clamp, Light Duty, Copper Alloy

The Burndy GRL5 is a light duty mechanical ground rod clamp built to join copper conductors ranging from #10 AWG to #2 AWG to a 5/8" ground rod. Constructed from copper alloy with an unplated finish, this compact acorn-style connector measures approximately 0.94" x 1.34" and delivers a secure, code-driven cable-to-rod mechanical connection for grounding electrode systems. As part of Burndy's copper mechanical grounding connector line, the GRL5 is engineered for electricians who need a dependable, easy-to-install clamp for service and utility grounding work where a bolted mechanical termination is preferred over crimping.

Key Features

• Ground Rod Size: Sized for 5/8" ground rods, giving installers a precise fit for a secure cable-to-rod grounding connection.
• Durable Construction: Copper Alloy body construction resists corrosion for long-term reliability in below-grade, outdoor, and high-moisture grounding environments.
• Mechanical Clamp Design: Light Duty acorn-style mechanical connector allows quick field installation without crimping tools or special dies.
• Conductor Range: Accepts copper conductors from #10 AWG through #2 AWG, giving flexibility across common grounding electrode conductor sizes.
• Compact Footprint: Approximate 0.94" x 1.34" body fits neatly into ground rod wells, meter enclosures, and other tight grounding locations.
• Finish: Unplated copper alloy construction keeps the connector consistent with bare copper grounding conductors.
• Cable-to-Rod Configuration: Purpose-built to terminate a stranded copper cable directly onto a driven ground rod as part of a grounding electrode system.
