Earth Rod Split Connector Clamp to suit 3/8" Rod
The UniCrimp QEP38CL is a heavy-duty, high-conductivity Rod-to-Cable Split Connector Clamp specifically designed for 3/8'' (9.5mm) earth rods. This essential component ensures a permanent, low-resistance mechanical connection between the copper-bonded earth electrode and the earthing conductor.
Engineered for longevity in harsh underground environments, the "split" design allows for a secure, wrap-around grip that maximizes surface contact, ensuring the safety and integrity of a TT earthing system.
When it comes to earthing, the connection is only as good as the clamp. The QEP38CL is manufactured from a high-copper content alloy, providing excellent corrosion resistance and superior electrical conductivity. It is designed to withstand the high torque required to create a gas-tight seal around the rod, preventing the connection from loosening over time due to ground movement or thermal expansion.
Precision Fit: Specifically sized for 3/8'' (9.5mm) earth rods, ensuring a snug and secure fit without slipping.
Split Bolt Design: The split-style connector allows for easy installation and ensures equal pressure is applied to both the rod and the conductor.
Corrosion Resistant: Built to be buried; the high-quality alloy resists the oxidizing effects of soil moisture and acidity.
High Conductivity: Minimizes resistance at the connection point, which is critical for meeting the required Earth Loop Impedance ($Z_{e}$) values.
Heavy-Duty Bolt: Equipped with a robust hexagonal bolt head that allows for high-torque tightening using standard spanners or sockets.
