Eaton GRC2 Ground Clamp - 3/4in Direct Burial
Part Number: GRC2
Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds ground clamp provides reliable grounding connections for direct burial ground rods in service entrance installations. This simplifies field assemblies by reducing the risk of loose or corroded clamps that slow commissioning. Many projects struggle with ensuring robust conductivity and code-compliant bonding in harsh environments. The clamp is designed around NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, with Canadian certification through UL listings. By choosing copper alloy construction and a 3/4" clamping range, you gain durable performance and predictable variation under thermal cycling. For engineers and procurement teams, this translates to fewer field calls, faster wiring, and reliable grounding that supports uptime and safety across industrial facilities.

FAQs
When installing the GRC2, ensure direct burial of the ground rod per local codes, verify the rod diameter fits the 3/4" clamping range, and seat the rod securely for a firm contact. Clean the contact surfaces to remove corrosion, moisture, or debris that could increase resistance. The result is reliable grounding and reduced rework on-site.
Yes. The GRC2 is designed specifically for direct burial grounding with a 3/4" clamping range, aligning with common earth rod sizes used in NEC/CEC-compliant service entrances. It supports ordinary/non-hazardous locations and meets cross-border certification requirements, simplifying project approvals and field installation.
The GRC2 combines NEC/CEC compliance with corrosion-resistant copper alloy construction and a direct burial-ready design. This provides a robust, low-maintenance grounding path in ordinary/non-hazardous sites, reducing inspection risk and downtime while streamlining procurement with compatible Eaton Crouse-Hinds fittings.
Copper alloy offers superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance in soil environments, maintaining a stable ground path over time. This reduces grounding resistance drift, enhances reliability during thermal cycling, and lowers maintenance costs on aging installations, especially in industrial facilities with aggressive soil conditions.
Expected ROI comes from fewer field failures, reduced rework, and quicker installations thanks to the clamp’s direct burial suitability and reliable contact. The durable copper alloy body resists corrosion, lowering replacement frequency, while NEC/CEC compliance supports faster inspections and cross-site standardization across multi-site operations.
