Overview

The Panduit GUBC500-6 Universal Beam Grounding Clamp is a high-performance grounding solution engineered for secure, compliant bonding on structural steel beams. Designed for copper conductors ranging from #6 AWG to 500 kcmil, this clamp provides a robust mounting pad for two-hole compression lugs, ensuring reliable electrical continuity in industrial, commercial, and utility applications. The GUBC500-6 accommodates flange thicknesses from 0.250" to 0.675" (6.3–17.1 mm), making it compatible with both standard (angled) and wide flange (parallel) beams. Installation is simplified with a standard 1/4" key hex wrench, eliminating the need for specialized tooling. The clamp meets IEEE STD 837-2002 and REV 2014 standards for grounding and bonding, ensuring long-term performance and compliance with safety regulations. UL 467 listed and CSA 22.2 certified, the GUBC500-6 is suitable for direct burial in earth or concrete, providing versatility for outdoor and underground installations. It also complies with vibration tests per MIL-STD-202G (Method 201A), ensuring stability in high-vibration environments such as transportation, mining, and heavy machinery applications. The clamp’s copper construction delivers superior conductivity, while its compact dimensions (3.15" x 2.13" x 2.50") allow for easy integration into tight spaces. Ideal for grounding systems in power distribution, telecommunications, and industrial facilities, the GUBC500-6 enhances system reliability by providing a secure, low-resistance path for fault currents. Its durable design and compliance with industry standards make it a trusted choice for engineers and contractors seeking a dependable grounding solution.
