B strand ground clamp
The B strand Ground Clamp is an all-time component in electrical and telecommunication installations. It uniquely secures cable sheath, bonding ribbon, or ground wire to the messenger strand.
Engineered with an internal self-seating compression plate, this item provides an even distribution of clamping pressure along the messenger strand. This ensures that the overall integrity of a given electrical system is maintained effectively and efficiently.
While using this item, a couple of accessories can often come in handy. The first is the 1/2 x 1-1/2 square head machine bolt while the second is the 1/2-13 regular square nut. These two often work in unison to make sure that the overall installation process is made easier and efficient.
Noteworthy features of the B Strand Ground Clamp include:
- Hot dip galvanization to meet ASTM Specification A153.
- Ability to accommodate strands from 3/16 to1/2
- conforms to Bellcore specification 7182
- Possesses an internal self-seating compression plate to evenly distribute clamping pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes the B strand ground clamp from other grounding clamps?
The B Strand Ground Clamp stands out among other clamps as the product has been made with a revolutionary technology focusing on precise engineering and adherence to the standards of the industry such as the ASTM Specifications. This guarantees the product’s high reliability record by maintaining equivalent performance in different electrical installations.
Under which circumstances does B strand ground clamp excels?
BÂ Strand Ground Clamp can work in any environment in pulling up cable sheaths and bonding the ribbons or the ground wires to the messenger strands. Whether it be in overland electrical lines, telephone networks, or cable TV setup, it manifests its flexibility and credibility in very many instances.
Which cable size does B strand ground clamp work with best?
The B strand ground clamp is designed to accommodate different sizes of strands. Ranging from high-end products for setups involving cables of large diameters to smaller ones for telecom cables, the product can cater to most of the common user needs. However, customizations are often available from manufacturers on a request basis.
How does the B strand ground clamp ensure a secure and reliable connection between the cable and messenger strand?
The internal self – seated compression plate holds the cable and messenger strand securely and reliably. This clamping part applies the pressure equally over the messenger strand to the sheath causing tight and uniform contact while serving as the grounding conductor. This way, it becomes possible to have a firm grip which is essential in electrical installation.
Can B strand ground clamp be used in an overly moist and wet environment?
The B strand ground clamp is fabricated to tolerate varying environmental conditions, including wet environments, which are experienced in field operations. The construction of the clamp from high-grade steel and the hot-dip process per ASTM A153 specifications provides the highest anti-corrosion protection which makes it appropriate for external installation sites where moisture is normally prevalent.
