The CADWELD

PLUS ONE SHOT Process

Fig. 4

The conductors should be clean and dry before the

connection is made. Use a propane torch to dry wire

conductors and remove remaining cleaning residue,

solvent, or water before making the CADWELD

connection.

Next, use a wire brush to further prepare the surface

of the conductors and ground rod (CADWELD T-313

or T-314 brush).

Scrape the outer surface to remove dirt and

oxidation. You will notice a slight color change.

Each CADWELD PLUS ONE SHOT contains a copper

wire at the bottom of the mold.

Place the mold onto the ground rod until the ground

rod reaches the wire stopper and cannot go any

further.
