NVENT ERICO HAMMERLOCK GROUND CLAMP

The nVent ERICO Hammerlock irreversible mechanical

connection connects the grounding conductor to the ground
rod. Machined from highly conductive copper, the state-of-
the-art Hammerlock provides a low resistance connection
designed to withstand ground fault currents and lightning
transients. The connector’s mechanically rugged design will
help ensure that the highest level of performance is
maintained for many years after the connection has been
buried in the harsh underground environment.
Installing the Hammerlock is as easy as swinging a hammer
and requires no special tools or training. The Hammerlock
can be installed three to five times faster than an acorn clamp
and provides a high-quality grounding connection that is easy
to use and withstands 100% of the current carrying capacity
of the conductor.
