WELD METAL & ACCESSORIES

thermOweld® produces all weld metal only in our USA factories.  We control our process for superior connections. After multiple stages of chemical preparation and processing, we package strictly in moisture-resistant plastic cartridges. These cartridges and the necessary steel discs are then packaged in plastic boxes that are shrink wrapped. Shrink wrapping ensures the weld metal will arrive in good condition, always dry, and ready for a positive ignition every time.  Although our volume is very large to support the global market, we purposely produce in lots and perform testing on every lot to insure a reliable connection for the installer.  Every lot is coded for complete traceability through our vertically-integrated manufacturing process. Our customers tell us there is no better weld metal available.

SINGLE SHOT CONNECTIONS

thermOweld® single shot molds are an economical way to make cable connections onto the top of a ground rod or rebar. The single shot is a disposable single-use ceramic mold that comes complete with everything required except the flint ignitor. This innovative process eliminates the need for a mold, handle clamps and frames.

EXOTHERMIC MOLDS

thermOweld® is a process of welding copper to copper, copper to steel and copper to ductile iron. The exothermic reaction takes place in a semi-permanent graphite mold with a special formula of copper oxide and aluminum.

thermOweld® connections are solid copper molecular bonds that do not loosen or corrode throughout the life of the host structure. These bonds are the superior connection method for the most reliable and highest longevity of grounding, lightning protection, cathodic protection and other critical infrastructure systems.

Standard Molds

thermOweld® standard molds are used with new clean AWG and Metric wire and cable. A standard mold is not for use in “heavy-duty” applications.

Heavy-Duty Molds

thermOweld® heavy-duty molds are employed with reused or reclaimed and heavily oxidized AWG and Metric wire and cable. In these cases a “heavy-duty” mold is recommended as it accepts this larger wire diameter and utilizes a larger weld metal cartridge size which facilitates burn-off of cable oxidation. The resulting connection is larger than a standard mold connection. Note that the grounding engineer may determine that the calculated theoretical ground fault current level may be abnormally high and, therefore, would prefer the larger mass of a heavy-duty mold connection.
