ELKO-BIS 117.2 CZ Foundation Earth Electrode and Reinforcement Clamp for 28mm Diameter

The ELKO-BIS 117.2 CZ foundation earth electrode and reinforcement clamp is a professional-grade component engineered for establishing secure electrical connections between foundation grounding systems and reinforcement bars. Specifically designed for bars with a 28 mm diameter, this clamp ensures high mechanical stability and consistent electrical conductivity, which are essential for the integrity of building grounding and lightning protection systems.

Advantages

This clamp offers exceptional durability and resistance to environmental factors, making it suitable for long-term installation within concrete foundations. Its robust construction ensures that the connection remains tight and reliable over time, preventing loosening due to thermal expansion or structural shifts. By providing a low-resistance path for electrical currents, it significantly enhances the safety and effectiveness of the entire grounding network in modern construction projects.

Suitable for

• Connecting foundation earth electrodes to 28 mm reinforcement bars
• Professional lightning protection system installations
• Grounding of building structures and foundations
• Ensuring electrical continuity in reinforced concrete elements

When it may not be suitable

This clamp is specifically dimensioned for 28 mm diameter reinforcement bars and will not provide a secure fit for bars of different sizes. It is not intended for use in applications requiring connection to non-metallic materials or for grounding systems that do not utilize standard reinforcement steel.

Key specifications

• Compatible reinforcement bar diameter: 28 mm
• Material: Corrosion-resistant metal alloy
• Application: Foundation grounding and lightning protection
• Mechanical connection type: Bolt-tightened clamp

How to use

To install the clamp, position it around the 28 mm reinforcement bar at the designated grounding point. Insert the foundation earth electrode into the clamp assembly and tighten the bolts firmly to ensure a solid mechanical and electrical bond. Ensure that the contact surfaces are clean and free of debris or heavy rust before tightening to achieve optimal conductivity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the exact diameter of your reinforcement bars to ensure compatibility
• Ensure the clamp meets the specific grounding requirements of your building project
• Check local electrical safety standards for foundation grounding installations

Usage recommendations: Always perform a continuity test after installation to verify that the grounding system meets the required electrical resistance standards. Ensure that the clamp is fully embedded in concrete according to structural engineering specifications to protect it from long-term corrosion.
