Cathodic protection connections
Cadweld® connections from Erico® provide a method of attaching cathodic protection leads to pipes (steel or cast iron), tanks and structures. The connections weld the conductors and the structure to be protected, helping to ensure no galvanic corrosion occurs at the interface. The process is specifically formulated to provide minimum heat effect on steel, which is especially important on thin-wall, high-stress pipes. The connections have a current-carrying capacity equal to that of the conductor and they offer a permanent, low-resistance connection that will not loosen or corrode.
