Overview

The ABB JPS12 Cast Bronze Ground Clamp is a high-integrity grounding solution engineered for rigid conduit systems, water pipes, and copper tubing. Constructed from cast bronze—a high-strength, high-conductivity copper alloy (over 80% copper)—this clamp ensures reliable electrical continuity and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The JPS12 accommodates wire gauges from 10 AWG to 6 AWG (solid or stranded), water pipes ranging from 1/2 inch to 1 inch in diameter, and 1/2 inch conduit sizes, making it a versatile choice for residential, commercial, and industrial grounding applications. Key features include a 360° swiveling threaded conduit hub for effortless alignment during installation, a heavy brass washer to protect the clamped grounding conductor, and zinc-plated screws for enhanced corrosion resistance. The cast bronze pipe clamping portion is identical to that used in ABB’s JA clamp series, ensuring consistency in performance and durability. The JPS12 is UL 467 listed for direct burial, meeting stringent safety and performance standards for grounding systems. Its robust construction and compatibility with a wide range of pipe and wire sizes make it an ideal solution for establishing secure ground connections in diverse applications, from HVAC systems to electrical panels. The clamp’s dimensions (2.75" x 2.34" x 1.78") and compact design allow for easy integration into tight spaces, while its durable materials ensure long-term reliability even in moisture-prone environments.
