Eaton GCB13 Ground Clamp - Bronze Direct Burial NEC/CEC
Part Number: GCB13
Quick Summary
The Eaton GCB13 ground clamp provides reliable grounding for direct burial installations in lighting and emergency systems. Field teams often contend with corrosion, mis-sizing, and installation delays when sourcing small grounding fittings. This clamp uses copper alloy with a bronze screw to deliver durable bonding in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, aligned with NEC/CEC standards. Its 1/2 in to 1 in clamping range and compact form simplify conductor compatibility and speed up project commissioning, delivering predictable performance for critical infrastructure. Designed to integrate with Eaton's Crouse-Hinds grounding family, it supports scalable grounding in commercial and industrial electrical installations.

FAQs
The GCB13 is specified for a 1/2 inch to 1 inch grounding conductor clamping range. This flexibility supports a wide variety of conductors used in lighting and emergency-system installations, reducing the need for multiple clamp SKUs and simplifying field procurement.
GCB13 uses copper alloy with a bronze screw designed for direct burial. This combination delivers durable, corrosion-resistant bonding in buried or damp environments, helping maintain a reliable ground path over the life of the installation.
Yes. The GCB13 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and adheres to NEC/CEC standards, making it appropriate for standard commercial, industrial, and lighting installations where buried grounding components are required.
The clamp conforms to NEC/CEC standards and is associated with Regular ground-bonding products in Crouse-Hinds series. Canadian certifications are listed in Eaton’s documentation, with UL and other regulatory references available in the catalog and datasheets.
Use the GCB13 within its 1/2–1 in range on copper alloy conductors, follow the NEC/CEC guidelines for ordinary locations, and pair it with compatible Eaton Crouse-Hinds grounding fittings. Proper torque on the bronze screw and secure burial installation minimize rework, lowering maintenance costs over the system life.
