Product Description
The Ilsco GBL-1/0 is a premium dual-rated mechanical grounding lug engineered for rapid and reliable bonding in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems. Its signature "lay-in" design is a major time-saver, allowing installers to place a continuous grounding conductor directly into the terminal without having to cut or break the wire loop.
Precision-machined from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and finished with electro-tin plating, the GBL-1/0 ensures superior conductivity and long-term corrosion resistance. Its AL-CU dual-rating makes it a versatile solution, fully certified for use with both copper and aluminum conductors in demanding environments like solar arrays, pool bonding, and service entrances.

Key Features & Benefits
-
Time-Saving Lay-In Design: The side-entry port allows for the quick installation of a continuous grounding loop, eliminating the need to strip and splice wires between multiple bonding points.
-
Universal AL-CU Compatibility: Fully certified for use with both copper and aluminum stranded wires, preventing galvanic corrosion and providing project-wide flexibility.
-
Corrosion Protection: The electro-tin finish provides a durable barrier against oxidation, making it ideal for coastal environments and outdoor industrial applications.
-
High-Torque Installation: Equipped with a slotted hex head screw, allowing for precise torque control using standard field tools.
