How to Install the IBG20-40 Ground Clamp Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the IBG20-40 Ground Clamp Connector to ensure a secure and effective grounding connection.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire brush, Hydraulic crimping tool

Supplies needed:

KOPR-SHIELD® Compound, Square head bolt, I-Beam ground connector

  1. Clean the ground wire

    Use emery cloth or a wire brush to remove all dirt and foreign matter from the ground wire.

  2. Prepare the structural member

    Remove paint, scale, or other foreign matter from the structural member where the ground connector will be clamped.

  3. Apply KOPR-SHIELD® Compound

    Apply a thin layer of T&B’s KOPR-SHIELD® Compound onto the cleaned structural steel member.

  4. Position the connector

    Place the flat surface of the connector tongue onto the treated structural steel member, ensuring the centering washer is properly positioned.

  5. Crimp the connector

    Select the appropriate installing die and crimp the I-Beam ground connector onto the ground wire, ensuring the flat surface of the connector tongue faces the structural steel member.

  6. Fasten the clamp

    Tighten the square head bolt until it shears off at approximately 625 in/lbs, ensuring the rounded bolt tip is properly seated in the centering washer.
