When it comes to electrical safety, nothing is more fundamental than proper grounding. Whether you're working on residential wiring, commercial installations or industrial systems, the right grounding clamp ensures a reliable, code-compliant connection that keeps people and property safe.

At Sonic Electric, we stock a full range of high-quality grounding clamps and accessories designed for performance, durability, and ease of installation. Below is a helpful breakdown of the most common grounding products, what they do, and how to choose the right one for your job.

Simple Ground Clamps (Standard Pipe Sizes)

Best for: Basic residential and commercial grounding to copper or galvanized pipe.

Simple ground clamps are the industry standard for bonding grounding conductors to piping systems ranging from ½" up to 4". They provide a strong mechanical connection and are ideal for:

• Water pipe grounding

• Main bonding jumpers

• Residential service upgrades

• General electrical grounding needs

These clamps are durable, easy to install, and a must-have on any service truck.

Ground Clamps With Brackets

Best for: Installations requiring added stability and alignment.

Ground clamps with an integrated bracket give you more secure placement on the pipe, reducing movement and improving long-term reliability. Common uses:

• Grounding where vibration may occur

• Commercial installations with multiple bonds

• Jobs that require a cleaner, more secure clamp setup

They’re available in sizes from ½" to 1" and provide excellent mechanical strength.

Direct Burial Ground Clamps

Best for: Underground or corrosive environments.

If you're working on:

• Ground rods

• Irrigation systems

• Direct-burial electrical installations

• Outdoor service upgrades

Then a direct burial-rated clamp is essential. These clamps use copper alloy materials designed to resist moisture, soil chemistry, and long-term corrosion.

They ensure a safe, code-compliant bond in even the harshest environments.

Lay-In Ground Clamps

Best for: Quick conductor installation and retrofit projects.

Lay-in clamps allow you to “lay” the wire directly into the clamp without threading it through a closed loop. This saves time and is perfect when:

• Adding additional grounding conductors

• Bonding multiple wires

• Retrofitting older electrical systems

They come in standard and large sizes, covering pipe ranges from ½" up to 2".

Open Ground Clamps

Best for: Jobs requiring fast installation with more working room.

Open-style ground clamps are designed with extra clearance, giving electricians space to work in tight areas. They're great for:

• Low-clearance mechanical rooms

• Retrofit work on crowded pipes

• Multi-conductor bonding setups

If speed and convenience matter, open clamps are your go-to.

Acorn Rebar Clamps

Best for: Grounding to rebar in concrete-encased electrode systems.

Acorn clamps—often called “C-clamps”—are essential for:

• Foundation grounding

• Concrete-encased electrodes

They come in multiple sizes (½", ⅝", ¾") and are built to form an extremely strong mechanical and electrical bond to rebar.

These clamps play a critical role in ensuring the entire structure is safely bonded from the ground up.

Copper Crimp Sleeve Wire Connectors

Best for: Permanent splicing of grounding conductors.

Copper crimp sleeves are used to join two grounding wires in a secure, permanent connection. They are:

• UL listed

• Available for 18–10 gauge (small) and 18–8 gauge (large)

• Ideal for grounding systems, bonding, and repairs

Electricians appreciate how dependable these connectors are in both above-ground and underground installations.

Available in convenient packs of 50 or 100.

Grounding Bus Bar (16-Lug, 12")

Best for: Organizing and bonding multiple grounding conductors in one location.

A grounding bus bar is a critical component in:

• Telecom rooms

• Solar installations

• Electrical panels

• Industrial equipment rooms

This model includes:

• 16 lugs

• Mounting holes

• A durable copper bar

• Size: ¼" x 2" x 12"

It’s perfect for keeping grounding systems neat, accessible, and code-compliant.

Types of Grounding Clamps — Understanding the Differences

Sonic Electric also offers grounding clamps in functional configurations designed for different jobsite needs:

Double Clamp

Connects two pipes at once — ideal for bonding systems with parallel runs.

Single Clamp

Standard single-point grounding for pipe or conduit.

Standalone Clamp

When you need a simple grounding point without attaching to conduit.

Double + 360°

Provides full rotational flexibility and dual-point bonding.

Single + 360°

Gives the installer freedom to rotate the clamp during installation.

Open-Slit Clamp

Easier wire entry and excellent for tight spaces.

Grounding Hub

Perfect for grounding conduit entries into enclosures, meter cans, and panels.

Understanding the right clamp type helps avoid failure points, ensures bonding integrity, and saves time during installation.
