GSTUD-HY
VERSITAIL™ Structural Steel Grounding Connector
Structural Steel Grounding Connector
INSTALLATION
1. Weld the VERSITAIL™ to the steel member.
2. Select the proper connector for your specific application.
FOR COMPRESSION CONNECTORS
Select the proper BURNDY® “YGHP,” connector. Clean the conductor, join the VERSITAIL™ and the grounding conductor together with
the recommended tool and die set, then crimp the connector over the knurled area of the VERSITAIL™.
FOR MECHANICAL CONNECTORS
Select the properly sized BURNDY® connector. Clean the conductor, then apply PENETROX™ E oxide inhibiting compound on the contact area for increased effectiveness and service life. Put the connector over the knurled area of the VERSITAIL™ and apply the recommended torque value for correct installation.

• The VERSITAIL™ may be welded to steel surfaces quickly and easily with normal construction equipment.
• The VERSITAIL™ eliminates costly disk grinding and the need to expose virgin metal, the welding process burns through the oxidation and “scale” to establish excellent electrical grounding continuity.
• The VERSITAIL™ may be installed by the welder in the field or at the steel fabricator based on customer preference.
• The VERSITAIL™ pure copper coating over low carbon, hot rolled steel is compatible with standard welding processes, no toxic gasses are generated.
• The VERSITAIL™ knurled surface is copper plated and specifically designed to ensure excellent mechanical gripping and electrical integrity for BURNDY® compression and mechanical connectors in all grounding applications.
• The VERSITAIL™ may be installed during adverse weather conditions thus eliminating costly construction delays.
• Low installation cost.
• No drilling
• No cleaning
• No special preparation
• Low Carbon, hot rolled steel
• Pure copper plated finish
