Cadweld is intended as a buriable ground connection as-is. Do it right, cover
with dirt and get on the air.

Subject: [PVRC] CADWELD Question
Should one weatherproof (i.e., tape) cadweld
connections (Cu to Cu) that will be buried?
I personally think it's a waste of time and material,
but if someone can explain why it's necessary (that
is, a good cadweld connection will have a lifetime
less than that of a Cu ground rod embedded in the same
soil type unless it is weather proofed...and how,
physically, that could happen), I could be pursuaded
otherwise.
73, and thanks for reading.
