INTRODUCTION & ORDERING INFORMATION
HOW TO ORDER CADWELD PRODUCTS
This catalog lists the most popular CADWELD connections using solid or concentric stranded
copper conductor, insulated or bare. Look in the index for the connection you need. To save time
and money, avoid non-catalog items or specials whenever possible.
If you cannot find the connection you need, contact ERICO or your local distributor or agent.
We have designed over 45,000 connections, and “specials” are designed every day.
1. What connection do you want?
Available connections are listed in the pictorial index at the beginning of each section which
shows the degree of difficulty in making the connection, and ease of mold cleaning. We
strongly recommend that wherever possible you use molds listed in this catalog.
After selecting
the connection, turn to the appropriate page and select the mold, weld metal and tools you
need.
2. Only the most popular CADWELD connections are listed in this catalog.
For CADWELD EXOLON connections, ordering information is shown on page XI.
3. What are the conductor sizes?
This catalog covers connections between solid or concentric stranded copper conductors
to each other, to lugs, to ground rods, to rebar, to rail and to special grounding accessories.
For sizes not listed, contact your local CADWELD distributor, agent, or ERICO.
Note: Other publications describe connections to conductors of copperclad, high voltage
copper, aluminum, busbar, lightning protection cable, steel cable, etc.
