Cable to Ground Rod

Cadweld One Shots and Cadweld Plus One Shots produce permanent exothermic connections to ground rods that will not loosen,
corrode or increase in resistance for the life of the installation. A convenient, single-use ceramic mold eliminates the need for a mold
and handle clamps and/or frame.

CADWELD WELDING MATERIAL

Cadweld welding material consists of copper oxide and aluminum, packaged
by weight (in grams) in plastic tubes. Each tube contains starting material at the
bottom of the plastic tube. Welding material is packaged in containers along with
metal disks. Standard welding material (F20) is packaged in tubes with clear caps
and is used for all grounding connections with the exception of those to cast iron or rail. T111 B160V
SurefireTM Torch Head Chain Support Clamp
NVENT ERICO CADWELD EXOLON
Cadweld Exolon produces the same permanent bonds as traditional Cadweld without
smoke and other emissions. Cadweld Exolon molds and welding material can be ordered
by adding an XL prefix to the part numbers (contact nVent or authorized agent for details).

CADWELD PLUS
Cadweld Plus simplifies the method of making exothermic connections by
eliminating the need for starting material or a separate disk. With the Cadweld Plus B396 B265
Control Unit, welds can be completed up to 6 feet away. Each Cadweld Plus package is Magnetic Handle Cable Clamp
color coded for easy identification. Clamp

Cadweld Molds

A graphite mold is used for making most Cadweld connections. Cadweld molds will generally last
an average of 50 or more connections under normal usage.
PRICE KEY AND HANDLE CLAMP AND/OR FRAMES
Handle clamps are required for most molds. Specialized frames with handles are used on some molds.
Flint igniters are included with handle clamps. The following handle clamps are most widely used.
L160 for all molds having a “C”, “E”, “R” and “Q” mold price key (3” wide molds)
L159 for all molds having a “D”, “F”, “J” and “Z” mold price key (4” wide molds)
Handle Clamps with an “XL” prefix are for use with the Cadweld Exolon system and do not come
with a flint igniter. Mini E-Z Change Clamps for use with mini-welders.
Pictured below are the molds and / or frames and handles for the various price key molds:

“A” Price Key Mold “C”, “D”, “F”, “R”, “Q” and “Z” Price Key Mold
Includes Hold Down Frame L160 or L159
Handle Clamp Required

“E” and “J” Price Key Mold “M” and “V” Price Key Mold
L160 or L159 Handle Clamp Includes Frame with Handles

Cadweld Molds

“H” Price Key Mold Includes Hold Down Frame “G”, “K”, and “L” Price Key Mold Includes Frame “T”, “P” and “N” Price Key Mold
with Handles with Handles Includes Mini-EZ Handle Clamp
To order mold only, add an “M” suffix
to the part number (for example, SST1TM)

MOLD OPTIONS

SPLIT CRUCIBLE MOLDS

Molds made with a horizontal opening and solid crucible
section may be specified as a split crucible type. The
advantage of the split crucible mold is easier cleaning.
To order a mold with a split crucible, add an “L” suffix
to the mold part number (for example, TAC2G2GL).

WEAR PLATES
Wear Plates reduce mechanical abrasion of molds at cable
entry points and help prevent leakage of molten metal
(particularly on larger 7 strand conductor). These features
prolong mold life.
To order a mold with wear plates, add a “W” suffix
to the mold part number (for example, PTC2G2GW ).
