nVent CADDY CDYT320 CADWELD Flint Ignitor

nVent CADDY CDYT320 CADWELD Flint Ignitor

The nVent CADDY CADWELD Flint Ignitor (CDYT320) is the striking tool used to ignite the starting powder inside a CADWELD weld metal cartridge, triggering the exothermic reaction that fuses copper conductors to rebar, ground rods, structural steel, and other grounding and bonding components. It is a purpose-built accessory for the CADWELD exothermic welding process, the molecular welding method widely specified for permanent, high-conductivity electrical grounding and bonding connections in commercial, industrial, utility, and telecommunications installations. Electricians and grounding contractors carry the Flint Ignitor as a standard companion tool alongside CADWELD molds, connectors, and starting material whenever a field weld is being made, and it is commonly stocked as a spare so a crew is never without a way to start a weld on the job site.

Key Features

• Ignition Function: Generates the spark needed to ignite the starting powder in a CADWELD weld metal cartridge, initiating the exothermic reaction that produces the permanent molecular weld.
• CADWELD System Compatibility: Designed to work with nVent CADDY CADWELD molds and connections, the exothermic welding system used for grounding and bonding applications.
• Grounding & Bonding Use: Supports field welding of copper conductors to rebar, ground rods, structural steel, and other grounding electrodes and equipment.
• Field-Ready Tool: Carried by electricians and grounding crews as the go-to ignition tool for every CADWELD exothermic weld made on site.
• Spare/Replacement Part: Sold individually as CDYT320 so crews can restock their CADWELD kit without replacing other components.
• Model CDYT320: Identified under nVent CADDY's CADWELD product line for exothermic welding accessories.
