The QRail WEEB-Lug 8.0 is preassembled with a M8-T-bolt, serrated
flange nut, and a WEEB bonding plate. The lug is installed in the side
channel of the QRail rail.

Insert T-head bolt head into the rail’s side channel. Be sure to
allow the bolt head to rotate as far as possible in the T-bolt
channel to ensure full engagement of the bolt head with the sides
of the channel.

Ensure WEEB washer is aligned with lug body and that lug body
makes full contact with rail. Tighten nut finger tight to hold lug
and WEEB in place

Tighten M8 nut to 16  -lbf (22 N-m)

Using the above procedure, install a WEEB-Lug on each segment of the
array. Once all the WEEB-Lugs are installed, use a continuous length
of wire to connect each rail by laying wire in the lug wire channel and
secure with the wire capture bolt. Torque to 7  -lbf (10 N-m).
WEEB-Lug Installation
The bonded array segments must be connected to the system ground electrode
using a single continuous copper wire. This is achieved by routing the grounding
cable through the WEEB Lugs on each array segment. (Image 2.5.6)
Array Grounding
NOTE!
The WEEB Lug 8.0 can only be reused five times. When
uninstalled and reinstalled, it must be moved to a new location.

ATTENTION
When dissimilar metals come into contact, it is possible
that they will react with each other and cause corrosion
in one or both of the metal surfaces. Aluminum and
copper are particularly reactive with each other;
care must be taken to prevent any contact between
aluminum components and bare copper wire (Image
2.5.6).
