103 Grounding & Lightning Protection CADWELD® Exothermic Welding System The ideal way to secure a copper wire to a ground rod is by welding it securely to the top. The problem is, many of us don’t have easy access to a welder. Erico’s CADWELD process lets you make copper-to- copper or copper-to-steel electrical connections without the need for outside heat or power sources. The result is a permanent bond that won’t loosen or corrode over time. Though it’s relatively straightforward, we strongly recommend that you read and understand the CADWELD process before ordering.

These units can create substantial pulses on the vehicle wiring. Because the exhaust system is bolted directly to the engine and supported by insulated mounts, it can be excited just like an antenna and radiate pulse noise. By using one of our Exhaust Grounding Kits, you may eliminate that last bit of stubborn noise in your mobile installation. The kit includes a stainless steel saddle clamp and stainless steel hardware.
