DX Engineering DXE-58R-112S-2 Instructions manual

Copper Strap Clamp

1-1/2 through 2 inch Strap

to 5/8 or 3/4 inch Ground Rod

DXE-58R-112S-2

The DXE-58R-112S-2 Copper Strap Clamps bond 5/8
inch or 3/4 inch ground rods to low impedance 2 inch
copper strap for high performance grounding
installations.

Copper strap may be cut and used to shim strap to rod
clearance if needed. Two inch strap will pass through the clamp set without having to be cut having
holes drilled.

 Using this copper clamp is faster and easier than building up the joint for an exothermic weld
 1/4 inch 18-8 Stainless Steel hardware is included

The Ground Rod should already be in
place. The rod, strap (2 inch copper
straps) and copper clamping plates
must be thoroughly cleaned to remove
any oxidation. All connections must be
generously coated with a conductive
joint compound such as JTL-12555
Jet-Lube SS-30 Pure Copper Anti­Seize Copper joint compound,
available from DX Engineering. All
connections must be generously coated
with conductive joint compound to
prevent moisture penetration. DX
Engineering’s DXE-CCK Copper
Cleaning Kit contains the proper joint
cleaning compound, brush and
cleaning pad to properly prepare the
copper surfaces. Position strap into the
copper clamping plates and ground rod
then secure with the included stainless steel hardware. Tighten the bolts evenly. Do not over tighten.
The JTL-12555 Jet-Lube SS-30 Pure Copper Anti-Seize Copper Paste may be used on the threads
to prevent galling or seizing of stainless steel hardware.

Note: Some distortion of the plates may occur while tightening. If using a smaller diameter ground
rod, copper strap may be cut and used to shim strap to rod clearance.
