Mechanical clamps
Where permanent connections are not appropriate,
mechanical clamps offer the ideal solution. These are
typically used on smaller scale installations where
periodic disconnection for testing is required.
All Furse mechanical clamps are
manufactured from high copper
content alloy. They have high
mechanical strength, excellent
corrosion resistance and
conductivity.
Earth inspection pits
Regular inspection and testing of
the earthing system is essential.
Inspection pits allow easy access to
earth electrodes and conductors to
facilitate this procedure.
Earth bars
Earth bars are an efficient and
convenient way of providing a
common earth point. Integral
disconnecting links mean the
earth bars can be isolated for
testing purposes.
Earth electrode backfills
Earth electrode backfills are to be
used in areas where required
resistance levels are difficult to
achieve. These products effectively
act to increase the electrode’s
surface area thus lowering its
resistance to earth.

FurseWELD exothermic welding
A simple, self-contained method of forming high
quality electrical connections which requires no
external power or heat source. Connections are made
using the high temperature reaction of powdered
copper oxide and aluminium.
FurseWELD connections allow
conductors to carry higher currents
than other types of connections.
They will never loosen, are highly
conductive and have excellent
corrosion resistance.
Compression connectors
For applications where exothermic welding is not
appropriate for creating permanent
connections, compression
connectors may be used.
Compression connectors produce
very robust joints which can be
buried in the ground or in
concrete.
