Acorn PT12 Grounding Pigtail

Product Description

The ACORN PT12 is a grounding pigtail connector used to establish a reliable electrical ground path in residential and light commercial wiring applications. Grounding pigtails provide a short, pre-terminated conductor segment that bonds grounding screws, outlet boxes, or fixture mounting hardware to a ground wire in a junction or device box. The PT12 is a standard item installed by licensed electricians and electrical contractors during panel work, outlet installation, or fixture replacement. It is designed to meet grounding continuity requirements enforced under the National Electrical Code (NEC).

The ACORN PT12 is suited for use in residential and light commercial electrical installations where a dedicated grounding connection is needed at a device, box, or fixture. It is typically installed in standard electrical boxes during new construction or retrofit work when proper grounding of receptacles, switches, or fixtures is required by code.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always de-energize the circuit and verify the absence of voltage with a meter before making any connections. Secure the pigtail ground connection firmly to the grounding screw or terminal to ensure proper continuity. Do not use the pigtail to carry current-carrying load conductors.
