Southwire GRC2 Ground Rod Clamp 5/8 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE GRC2 is a ground rod clamp designed to establish a secure electrical connection between a grounding conductor and a 5/8 inch ground rod. Used in grounding electrode systems, this clamp provides a low-resistance mechanical bond that is critical to proper fault protection and code-compliant grounding installations. Electricians rely on this type of clamp to complete the grounding electrode conductor termination at the rod itself. The GRC2 is a compact, single-purpose fitting suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where NEC-compliant grounding is required.

This clamp is used at the point where the grounding electrode conductor meets the ground rod driven into the earth. It is a standard component in new construction wiring, service entrance work, and grounding system upgrades. The 5/8 inch rod diameter compatibility makes it a common fit for the most widely used ground rod size in residential and commercial electrical installations. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting as part of the grounding electrode system outlined in NEC Article 250.

Key Features

• Sized for 5/8 inch diameter ground rods, the most common standard in residential and commercial grounding systems
• Establishes a secure mechanical and electrical connection between grounding conductor and ground rod
• Compact design suited for direct burial and standard grounding electrode system installations
• Compatible with use in NEC Article 250 grounding electrode system applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard ground rod clamp for use with 5/8 inch ground rods in residential and light commercial grounding electrode systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 250 requirements for grounding electrode systems. De-energize the service and confirm the system is safe before making any connections to the grounding electrode conductor. Ensure the ground rod is driven to the required depth before attaching the clamp. The clamp should be tightened securely to maintain a low-resistance connection and may be suitable for direct burial depending on the material rating.
