Arlington GC50 Zinc Grounding Connector 1/2 in Knockout

Product Description

The ARLINGTON GC50 is a zinc grounding connector designed for use with 1/2 inch knockouts in electrical enclosures and junction boxes. It accepts 8 to 2 AWG stranded and solid conductors in both copper and aluminum, making it a versatile termination point for grounding electrode conductors. Licensed electricians install this fitting during service entrance and panel work where a secure, code-compliant grounding electrode connection is required. The zinc construction provides corrosion resistance appropriate for grounding applications in residential and light commercial electrical systems.

The GC50 is used in residential and commercial electrical installations wherever a grounding electrode conductor must be terminated at a 1/2 inch knockout. Typical applications include main service panels, subpanels, meter bases, and electrical enclosures requiring a bonded grounding electrode connection. The connector accommodates a wide range of conductor sizes, reducing the need for multiple part numbers across common service configurations.

Key Features

• Fits 1/2 inch knockouts for straightforward panel and enclosure installation
• Accepts 8 to 2 AWG conductors covering a broad range of grounding electrode sizes
• Compatible with both stranded and solid wire types
• Works with copper and aluminum grounding electrode conductors
• Zinc construction for corrosion resistance in grounding applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit grounding connector for electrical enclosures, panels, and meter bases with 1/2 inch knockouts requiring grounding electrode conductor termination.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC grounding and bonding requirements. De-energize the panel or enclosure and verify the absence of voltage before beginning work. Ensure the knockout is clean and free of burrs before seating the connector. Do not overtighten the clamping screw in a way that damages conductor strands.
