Blackburn FBG18-1 FEX BRAID 600A 18 INCH

Yes. The FBG18-1 is UL Listed and CSA Certified, which covers it for jobs in both US and Canadian jurisdictions where the inspector wants a listed bonding jumper rather than a field-fabricated one.

The FBG18-1 is a flexible tin-plated copper braid used as a bonding jumper, typically across a point that moves or flexes: transformer enclosures, equipment doors, switchgear sections, pipe joints, or anywhere a rigid conductor would fatigue. It is a 1-hole flexible braid, so each end lands on a single bolt or stud. The flat, braided construction lets it absorb vibration and movement without cracking the conductor.

18 inches overall. That length matters when you are jumping across a hinged door or a sliding section: you want enough slack that the braid never pulls tight at full travel. If your opening needs less than 18 inches of run, the extra can be looped, but do not bend it sharply at the terminal pads.

The FBG18-1 is sold as the braid itself, one per order. The terminal pads are drilled for a single bolt at each end, so you supply the bolt, nut, and washers sized for the hole and the stud or tapped pad you are landing on. Clean the mating surface to bare metal before you torque it down.

Use the braid where the connection moves. A stranded conductor with a compression lug is fine for a fixed bond between two rigid points, but across a hinge, an expansion joint, or a vibrating machine base the strands work-harden and break. The FBG18-1 is flat braided flexible construction built for that repeated movement. For a static run inside a panel, a standard bonding conductor and lug is the simpler call.

Order Blackburn FBG18-1. That is the manufacturer part number for the 18 inch one-hole flexible bonding braid, sold individually.

The FBG18-1 braid is tin-plated copper. The plating slows oxidation on the strands and at the terminal pads, which keeps contact resistance down over time, and it is the usual choice where the jumper lands on aluminum or galvanized enclosures or sits in a damp or outdoor location. Bare copper braid works but degrades faster at the connection.

Country of origin on the FBG18-1 is the United States. That matters on public works and federal jobs carrying domestic sourcing language in the spec.
