How to Bond to Rebar

Place rebar reinforcement into the grid pattern to add strength to the concrete when you begin the pouring for your structure. Secure copper wire to the rebar using rebar clamps.

Slip a clamp over end of rebar and at least two feet down the rod's length. Thread the end of the copper wire through the clamp. Some clamps may have holes specifically designed for the wire. Turn screw until wire is secure in clamp. Tighten clamp bolts with hex wrench.

Run wire from rebar to the metal structure or electrical equipment at the above ground level. Connect the wire to the structure with the appropriate clamp. Use screwdriver or hex wrench to tighten the bolt.

Pour concrete over rebar. The wires do not need to be accessible to create the grounding and common bonding grid. Let concrete set.
