Blackburn FB2G36 FLEXIBLE BRAID 614 KMCIL, 36in LONG

The FB2G36 is a flexible bonding braid, 36 inches long, sized at 614 kcmil equivalent. Braid like this is used where a bonding jumper has to flex or absorb movement and vibration, rather than sitting as a rigid cable, such as across expansion joints, on transformer or switchgear enclosures, and on equipment that moves relative to its grounding point. It is sold as a single piece, each.

What is specified here is the braid itself, model FB2G36, 36 inches long at 614 kcmil. Plan your connection hardware separately and size it to the 614 kcmil conductor and to the bolt or stud on the enclosure and the grounding point you are bonding to.

Use braid where the two bonded points move. Vibration, thermal expansion, hinged or removable panels, and rotating or sliding equipment will work-harden and eventually crack a solid or stiff stranded jumper; a flexible braid takes that movement. For a fixed bond between two rigid points, a standard bonding conductor and lugs is the simpler install. The FB2G36 gives you 36 inches of travel length at a 614 kcmil cross section.

Order it as Blackburn FB2G36. That is the manufacturer part number for the 36 inch, 614 kcmil flexible braid, and it is sold as one each rather than in a multi-pack.

Country of origin on the FB2G36 braid is the United States. That matters on federally funded and Buy American specified work, where domestic origin has to be documented for grounding and bonding components.
