Metallics CG202500 Ground Clip size 10/12/14 Green Steel Zinc (Box 2500)

The CG202500 ground clip is sized for 10, 12, and 14 AWG ground conductors, so it covers the usual branch circuit range on residential and light commercial rough-in. One clip handles all three sizes, which means an electrician can carry a single part on the cart instead of sorting by gauge.

A ground clip bonds the equipment grounding conductor to the metal outlet or switch box without a screw or a tapped hole. You slip the clip over the edge of the box and the ground wire is held under it, which is faster than threading a 10-32 green ground screw into the box and is the usual method when the box has no tapped grounding hole. The CG202500 is the 10/12/14 AWG size.

No. A ground clip only works on a metal box, because it clamps to the box edge and relies on metal-to-metal contact to bond the grounding conductor. On a nonmetallic box there is nothing to bond and nothing to clip to, so the grounds are joined with a wirenut or a push-in connector instead. Use the CG202500 clip only where you have steel boxes.

2,500 clips per box. It is sold as a box pack, which is the quantity a contractor wiring out a whole building or a multi-family rough-in wants rather than a counter bag. For a single service call or a handful of boxes, a bulk 2,500-count box is more than you need.

Steel with a zinc coating, and finished green. The zinc gives the clip corrosion resistance for use inside steel or metal boxes, and the green color is the standard visual cue for a grounding component so an inspector can identify it at a glance.

One part number, CG202500, covering the 10/12/14 size in the 2,500-count box. There is no handing, finish, or size choice to make on the order, so the only decision is how many boxes you need.
