New grounding clamp awaits UL approval

[c2500]

I just wanted to share this new style ground clamp that I happened to acquire when I purchased a rental house. I'm sure the UL approval will come through any day now.

Both the proper, and non-proper one shown are "Pipe Clamps" - goes to show you can not do electrical work over the phone.....











Yes - I know its really a "Hose Clamp".....

I'd say they should get a half of a point for at least making the effort.

its not code, but is it unsafe in some way?

Those clamps aren't that new, I came across one about four years ago on the ground rod for a 200 amp service. The hot tub GFCI didn't like it after I replaced it with the proper type, it would trip because the ground and neutral were connected on the same bar in the tub panel.

This is a good question in a lot of what we do.


Oh yea, the attornies don't let us think anymore.
