How to Install the GR1W Grounding Strap

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the GR1W grounding strap, including attaching it to a liquid-tight connector and securing the grounding conductor.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver

Supplies needed:

T&B Liquid-Tight Connector, Conduit, Bolt/screw, Nut, Lug, Grounding conductor

  1. Install Liquid-Tight Connector

    Install the T&B Liquid-Tight Connector (not included) onto the conduit.

  2. Prepare Grounding Strap

    Remove the bolt/screw and nut from the grounding strap.

  3. Position Grounding Strap

    Slide the grounding strap over the gland nut of the liquid-tight connector.

  4. Secure Lug

    Replace the bolt/screw and nut, securing the lug (not included) in the desired position. Tighten the screw to 50 lb-in for a screwdriver head or 150 lb-in for a hex head bolt.

  5. Connect Grounding Conductor

    Insert the grounding conductor into the lug and tighten the lug screw securely as per UL486A. If using a crimping type lug, crimp it before installation and then disregard this step.
