Overview

The ABB 3653 1-1/4 Inch Grounding Wedge provides a reliable grounding solution for Rigid and IMC conduit systems. Constructed from bronze with a tin plating, this wedge ensures corrosion resistance and long-term conductivity in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Designed for use with 1-1/4 inch conduit, it meets NEC and UL requirements for grounding and bonding applications. This grounding wedge is a critical component in electrical systems where secure, low-resistance grounding is essential. The tin plating enhances durability and reduces oxidation, ensuring consistent performance over time. Compatible with Rigid and IMC conduit, it is widely used in power distribution, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings where safety and compliance are paramount. The wedge is installed by inserting it into the conduit end, creating a tight mechanical and electrical connection with the grounding conductor. This design eliminates the need for additional grounding clamps in many applications, simplifying installation and reducing labor costs. The bronze material provides strength and conductivity, while the tin plating ensures resistance to environmental factors such as moisture and chemicals.
