Ortronics GS-8 Ground Strap Tin Braid 8 Inch

Product Description

The ORTRONICS GS-8 is an 8-inch tinned braid ground strap designed for bonding and grounding applications in raceway and conduit installations. Tinned copper braid construction provides reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance in electrical enclosure and raceway grounding tasks. This strap is sold individually and is suited for use by licensed electricians performing grounding and bonding work in commercial and industrial electrical systems. Its compact form factor makes it a practical replacement or supplemental grounding component wherever a short, flexible ground connection is required.

The GS-8 is appropriate for raceway and conduit grounding applications in both new construction and retrofit installations. Electricians use this type of ground strap to bond metallic raceway sections, enclosures, panels, and equipment frames to an established ground point. The flexible braid design accommodates minor misalignment between bonding points, which is common in tight electrical panel and wireway environments.

Key Features

• Tinned braid construction for corrosion resistance and stable conductivity
• 8-inch length suits short bonding runs in panels and raceways
• Flexible braid allows minor angular offset between connection points
• Sold as individual unit for precise quantity purchasing
• Designed for raceway and conduit grounding applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grounding accessory for use in metallic raceway and conduit systems requiring bonding straps.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC bonding and grounding requirements. De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before making any grounding connections. Ensure termination hardware is torqued per the connector or lug manufacturer specification and that all mating surfaces are clean and free of oxidation for a low-resistance bond.
