[TowerTalk] Cadweld mold part number?

Hi all,

Does anybody happen to know the correct Erico part number for the 
reusable Cadweld mold that I would need to bond 2" copper strap to a 
standard 5/8" x 8-foot long ground rod?

I'm looking for the one that bonds the full 2" width of the strap to 
the body of the rod so that I can use it below my existing 
AWG#4-solid welds to the tops of the ground rods.

I have not purchased the final copper strapping that will connect to 
the tower legs so I'm not sure whether the commonly-available 
strapping is 20 or 26 gauge - and I believe the molds are different 
for each type.

My halo-ground is mostly in-place now, but the 
tower-legs-to-ground-system straps need to go below the halo, as does 
the shack-to-ground system.

Thanks in advance.



Regards,

Peter,
