Bronze & Copper U Bolt Clamps for Grounding and Earthing

Key Features

  • Low contact resistance for effective grounding

  • High mechanical strength under load and vibration

  • Excellent corrosion resistance in outdoor conditions

  • Uniform pressure distribution on conductor and rod

  • Compatible with copper rods, tapes, and stranded cables

  • Available in bronze, copper, and mixed metal options

  • Precision machined threads for secure tightening

Bronze and Copper U Bolt & Guv Clamps are precision-engineered grounding connectors designed to create reliable mechanical and electrical bonds between earth rods, copper conductors, and grounding tapes. These clamps are widely used in earthing, lightning protection, and bonding systems where long-term conductivity and corrosion resistance are critical.

Manufactured from high-conductivity Copper and corrosion-resistant Bronze alloys, Telexc clamps are suitable for direct outdoor exposure and demanding industrial environments. The robust U-bolt and Guv-type designs ensure uniform pressure, secure contact, and stable performance under fault current and vibration conditions. Optional stainless steel or bronze fasteners further enhance durability and service life.
