SPEC2SITE solutions for electrical connections to metal
Helping make your design specifications and jobsite practices better
With our SPEC2SITE solutions for making electrical connections to metal base materials, we aim to improve key steps in the construction workflow for both designers and installers. We help connect the design specification with the jobsite, enabling installation as specified.
You'll also benefit from expert support at every stage. With engineers and technical professionals on the ground around the world, we offer training and assistance to help you design and install electrical connections correctly and efficiently.
Our application range includes grounding and bonding of baseplates, MEP grounding and bonding, structural bonding, pipe flange bonding, grating bonding, and lightning protection.

Electrical connection solutions for engineers
Solutions for higher performing design specifications
Discover a wide range of solutions for making grounding, bonding, earthing, and lightning connections to metal base materials (e.g., stainless steel up to 760 MPa, steel, aluminum, and copper). Reduced mass-to-electrical performance ratios combine with high corrosion resistance (over 40 years in C5 for S-BT and X-BT) to maintain low contact resistance over the solution's lifetime.

Value-engineered and optimized with more flexibility
Our versatile solutions meet specific requirements like loads, electromagnetic forces and external impact forces, geometry, electrical short-circuit currents, vibration, and corrosion. External tests confirm no adverse stresses and high corrosion resistance to maintain low contact resistance. This can lead to a lower total cost of ownership compared to through-bolted, welded, or clamped solutions.

More peace of mind on electrical connections
Install our threaded studs via a simplified three-step process enabled by smart tools with built-in algorithms. Our solutions reduce the need for habitats during installation (required only in ATEX environments) and additional corrosion protection. Safety performance data is verified by internal and external testing institutes, and our onsite support helps you ensure you get what you spec on the jobsite.

More sustainable grounding, bonding and earthing projects
Access certifications and documents that provide transparency and help you comply with environmental regulations and certification programs. Additionally, optimizing the mass-to-performance of your electrical connections can lead to quantifiable reductions in CO2 ratios (up to 95% vs. standard earth bosses; over 50% vs. through-bolt solutions).

Faster installations with fewer steps
Fasten S-BT connectors to metal base materials in just three steps using a single tool: pre-drilling, installation, and nut fastening. The tool's built-in algorithms speed up installation by up to 60% compared to traditional methods. No time-consuming habitat preparation is needed (except in ATEX environments), and no additional corrosion protection measures are required.
Explore SBT 6-22 cordless drill drivers
Simpler, more intuitive electrical connections
Installation of our S-BT electrical connectors requires only a SBT 6-22 cordless drill driver. The tool's built-in Drill Assist algorithm enables precise drilling depth, while the Smart Setting algorithm simplifies stud installation. No equipment is needed for installation and inspection.

An approved system for safer installations
The SBT 6-22's Drill Assist and Smart Setting algorithms not only save time and simplify installation but also help you install S-BT connectors correctly and safely. Following installation, visual inspection is sufficient in most cases. Permissable safety factors are validated by internal and external tests and consider operator variances that could affect electrical conductivity and resistance.
