Factory Made Bonds

Bonds with terminals formed on the ends are often used for bonding pipe joints and fittings. The formed terminal allows a smaller weld metal size to be used.

1Replacement molds (graphite portion) are available by ordering Welder Part No. – “M”.

Field Made Bonds

Formed Terminal Bonds may be made in the field using sleeves (one per conductor end) and forming them in the hammer dies listed.
