Panduit GPL-28-X Bronze Grounding Clamp

Product Description

The PANDUIT GPL-28-X is a bronze grounding clamp with a U-bolt design, used to establish a reliable electrical ground connection between grounding conductors and structural or piping systems. Bronze construction provides strong corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor environments where galvanic compatibility matters. This type of clamp is a standard hardware accessory in grounding and bonding work across electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems. Licensed electricians and grounding specialists install this clamp as part of code-required grounding assemblies on water pipe electrodes, structural steel, and similar grounding electrode systems.

The GPL-28-X is suited for use in both residential and commercial electrical installations where a secure, low-resistance ground connection to a grounding electrode is required. The U-bolt configuration allows the clamp to wrap around round pipe or rod surfaces and tighten down firmly, ensuring consistent metal-to-metal contact. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for new construction, service upgrades, and retrofit grounding work.

Key Features

• Bronze construction resists corrosion in wet, outdoor, and buried environments
• U-bolt design secures clamp firmly around pipe, rod, or structural members
• Establishes low-resistance bonding connection for grounding electrode systems
• Hardware accessory category suitable for general grounding and bonding applications
• Single-unit packaging for individual installation or service use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grounding clamp for use in electrical grounding electrode systems on round pipe or rod grounding electrodes per applicable NEC requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 250 grounding and bonding requirements. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage before working on any grounding electrode connections. Ensure the conductor and electrode surface are clean and free of oxidation before securing the clamp. Do not over-tighten the U-bolt hardware to the point of damaging the conductor or clamp body.
