KM GROM KM12 Grounding Tape Connector for 40 mm Flat Bar, Two-Plate Design

The KM GROM KM12 grounding tape connector is a professional-grade component specifically engineered for secure connections of 40 mm wide flat bars. Featuring a robust two-plate design, this connector provides a reliable electrical path essential for effective lightning protection and grounding systems. Its construction focuses on durability and structural integrity, ensuring that grounding installations remain stable and functional over long periods of time in various environmental conditions.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this connector lies in its two-plate design, which allows for a firm and uniform clamping force across the surface of the flat bar. This ensures low electrical resistance and a high-quality connection that meets safety standards for grounding infrastructure. The materials used are selected for their resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, providing a long service life even when exposed to outdoor elements. Furthermore, the design facilitates straightforward installation, reducing labor time during the assembly of complex grounding grids.

Suitable for

• Lightning protection systems for residential and commercial buildings
• Electrical grounding grids for industrial facilities
• Connecting 40 mm wide flat bars in earthing installations
• Infrastructure projects requiring reliable electrical continuity

When it may not be suitable

This connector is specifically dimensioned for 40 mm flat bars and will not provide a secure fit for bars of different widths. It is not intended for use with round conductors or cables, as the clamping plates are designed exclusively for flat surfaces.

Key specifications

• Compatibility: 40 mm wide flat bars
• Design: Two-plate clamping system
• Application: Lightning protection and grounding
• Material: Corrosion-resistant metal alloy

How to use

To install the connector, place the two plates on opposite sides of the 40 mm flat bar. Align the bolt holes and insert the fastening hardware. Tighten the bolts evenly to ensure that the plates exert consistent pressure across the entire contact area of the flat bar. Verify that the connection is tight and that there is no movement between the connector and the bar to ensure optimal electrical conductivity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the width of your flat bar is exactly 40 mm
• Ensure the material of the connector is compatible with the material of your flat bar to prevent galvanic corrosion
• Check local electrical regulations regarding the use of mechanical connectors in grounding systems

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection points in your grounding system at least once a year to ensure that the bolts remain tight and that no signs of corrosion or mechanical damage have developed.
