nVent ERICO Cadweld Cable to Rebar Welding Connections

Product overview

nVent ERICO Cadweld Cable to Rebar Welding Connections create a permanent, molecular bond that is both durable and reliable. Designed for optimal performance, these connections ensure a current-carrying capacity equal to or greater than the conductor, providing fault current protection without failure.

With their precision design, Cadweld Cable to Rebar connections offer superior bonding for grounding applications. nVent’s innovative exothermic welding process delivers a connection that won’t loosen, break, or corrode, ensuring lasting performance throughout the life of the installation.

nVent ERICO Cadweld Cable to Rebar Welding Connections – Features

  • Forms a permanent, low-resistance connection
  • Provides a molecular bond
  • Rated with the same current capacity as the conductor
  • Portable installation equipment with no external power source needed
  • Easy to train installers
  • Visually inspectable connections for quality assurance

Cadweld Plus Exothermic Welding System

Cadweld Plus utilises the same moulds as the Cadweld Traditional range, but provides the welding material/ metals and starting powder in an enclosed metallic cup. Easier and quicker than Traditional, ignition takes place with a Remote Control Unit. This enables the operator to be even further away from the ignition.

Complies with all recognised Standards Bodies and is famous as the “Number 1” system for exothermic welding. nVent design and manufacture all components of the system in-house, ensuring compatibility across the whole range. When combined with nVent’s grounding and bonding products (ground rods, busbars, connectors, GEM, etc), you are installing the most trusted, complete system in the world – ready to meet any demand.

Applications
