Blackburn GG500-500 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the Blackburn GG500-500 to bond a cable to a ground rod?
Yes. It is a cable-to-cable or cable-to-rod connector, so it covers both the run splice and the tap down to a driven ground rod, as long as the conductors are in the 500 range it is built for.
2) Is the GG500-500 copper, and can I use it on aluminum conductors?
The conductor material on this Blackburn E-Z-Ground compression connector is copper, so it is intended for copper grounding conductors and copper-bonded rods. For aluminum grounding conductors you need a connector rated for aluminum, not this one.
3) Does the Blackburn GG500-500 carry a UL listing for grounding work?
It is covered under UL E3060 and CSA 2884, which is the listing inspectors look for on a compression grounding connector. That matters on institutional and utility jobs where the ground connection gets inspected before the trench or ceiling closes.
4) Is the GG500-500 a bolted lug or does it need a crimp tool?
It is a compression connector, part of Blackburn's E-Z-Ground line, so it gets installed with a hydraulic crimp tool and the correct die set. There are no bolts to torque and no set screws to back out, which is why these get specified for direct-buried and concrete-encased grounding where the joint will never be serviced again.
5) Is the Blackburn GG500-500 sold individually or in a box?
It sells each, so you order the exact count you need for the job rather than a carton quantity. Stock a couple of spares if you are crimping in a trench, since a miscrimped compression connector gets cut out, not reused.
6) What is the country of origin on the Blackburn GG500-500 for submittal paperwork?
Country of origin is Mexico. That is the line procurement and submittal packages usually need alongside the UL E3060 and CSA 2884 listing reference.
