nVent CADDY GTC GT Series Copper-Bonded Cable-to-Ground Rod Mold Connector, 3/4-Inch Rod

The nVent CADDY GT Series copper-bonded mold connector is engineered to join cable directly to a 3/4-Inch ground rod, creating a permanent, secure grounding connection at the point where conductor meets electrode. Available in Type L and Type Q connection configurations, this mold connector supports the demanding requirements of electrical grounding systems where a dependable, long-lasting cable-to-rod bond is essential. Formerly offered under the Erico name, the GT Series carries forward a design built for reliable field performance on commercial, industrial, telecommunications, and utility grounding projects where a fixed cable-to-rod connection point is required.

Key Features

  • Rod Size: Sized for 3/4-Inch ground rods, matching common grounding electrode dimensions used in commercial and industrial grounding systems.
  • GT Series Design: Part of the nVent CADDY GT Series of mold connectors, a product line built specifically for cable-to-ground rod applications.
  • Copper-Bonded Construction: Copper-bonded design supports a durable, corrosion-resistant grounding connection intended to hold up over time in the field.
  • Cable-to-Ground Rod Connection: Forms a direct connection between cable and ground rod, establishing the electrode-side termination point of a grounding circuit.
  • Mold Connector Type: Functions as a mold connector, joining conductor and ground rod at a fixed connection point rather than a removable clamp or bolted fitting.
  • Connection Configurations: Available in Type L and Type Q connection styles to match project specification requirements.

Technical Specifications

nVent CADDY GTC182L – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the GTC182L and GTC182Q ground rod connectors?
They are the same 3/4-inch cable-to-ground rod mold connector in two connection configurations. GTC182L is the Type L connection; GTC182Q is the Type Q. Pick the one your grounding detail or spec calls out, since the connection style is what determines how the conductor runs into the rod.
2) Is a mold connector the same thing as an acorn ground rod clamp?
No, and it is a different decision on the job. The GT Series is a mold connector: it joins the conductor and the rod at a fixed, permanent connection point rather than a removable clamp or bolted fitting. A bolted acorn clamp can be loosened and the cable pulled off. Use a mold connection where the grounding electrode termination is meant to stay put for the life of the installation.
3) Is the nVent CADDY GTC the same product that used to be sold under the Erico name?
Yes. The GT Series copper-bonded mold connectors were formerly offered under Erico and now carry the nVent CADDY name. If your spec or old submittal calls out an Erico GT Series cable-to-rod connector, the nVent CADDY GT Series is the continuation of that line.
4) Will a copper-bonded ground rod connector hold up in direct-buried soil?
The GT Series connector uses copper-bonded construction, which is what gives it corrosion resistance for a long-term grounding connection in the field. That is the same material approach used on copper-bonded ground rods, so the connection point matches the electrode rather than introducing a dissimilar metal at the joint.
5) Do I need to order anything besides the GTC connector to make a cable-to-ground rod connection?
The GTC is the connector itself, supplied in the Type L or Type Q configuration you choose. The 3/4-inch ground rod and the grounding conductor are separate items, so order the rod diameter that matches (3/4 inch) along with the cable sized to your grounding detail.
6) Where in a grounding system does the GTC connector actually go?
It lands at the electrode end. The GTC forms the direct cable-to-rod connection, establishing the electrode-side termination of the grounding circuit. Typical uses are service entrance and substation grounding, telecom and utility grounding, and commercial or industrial electrical work on both new construction and renovation.
