Guardair 14VA120 Vacuum Cleaner Grounding Strap

Product Description

The GUARDAIR 14VA120 is a grounding strap designed for use with static conductive vacuum units. It provides a reliable path to ground, dissipating static electric charge that can build up during vacuuming of flammable dust, fine powders, or other combustible materials. The kit includes a 1/8-inch wide by 10-foot grounding clamp assembly. Licensed industrial hygiene technicians, maintenance electricians, and facility safety personnel typically spec and install this component as part of a compliant static-control program.

This grounding strap is used wherever static-conductive vacuum equipment operates near ignition-sensitive environments, including manufacturing facilities, finishing operations, grain handling, pharmaceutical production, and petrochemical service areas. It attaches to the vacuum unit and anchors to a verified ground point, keeping personnel and equipment protected from electrostatic discharge events during routine vacuuming operations.

Key Features

• 1/8-inch wide by 10-foot grounding clamp included — no additional hardware required for basic installation
• Designed for all static conductive vacuum units, providing broad compatibility across the product category
• Lightweight at 1 pound, easy to store and deploy at the point of use
• Single-piece kit sold individually, suitable for one vacuum system

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grounding strap replacement for static conductive vacuum units. Consult the vacuum manufacturer documentation to confirm grounding strap specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or safety technician familiar with static control requirements. Before connecting or disconnecting the grounding strap, ensure the vacuum unit is powered down and depressurized. The ground anchor point must be a verified, low-resistance earth ground in accordance with applicable NFPA and NEC guidelines for static bonding and grounding. Never substitute a bonding conductor for a true earth ground connection.
