Civacon adds ground verification wire
Feb 1, 2010 12:00 PM
Civacon has enhanced its Optic and Thermistor sockets with the addition of the new GS1001 ground verification wire. The GS1001 ground wire assembly, now installed inside every new socket, eliminates the need for a traditional ground bolt installed in the tanker's frame and performs the same ground verification function required by many loading terminals.
The most common industry method of installing a ground bolt in the tanker's frame often results in a poor connection over time after being exposed to the elements. The GS1001 is a molded assembly, installed completely inside the socket box.
Key benefits and features include:
No added cost — GS1001 assembly included in every socket
Easy to install — No extra drilling into tanker's frame
Longer life — Design offers greater protection from the environment (rain, corrosion, road chemicals, etc)
Provides the same ground verification signal and function as a traditional ground bolt at the terminal
