CLAMP FOR GROUNDING AND CLAMPING A CONDUIT TO A SUPPORT MEMBER ABSTRACT A clamp for grounding and clamping a conduit to a support member, such as a cable tray, and comprising a pad member interposed between the conduit and the support member. The pad member includes serrations, knurling and/or other surface discontinuities, but is otherwise configured to mate with the conduit and the support member so that when pressure is applied between the mating surfaces a good electrical con- tact is achieved. The required pressure is provided, for ex- ample, by a jaw member and a U-bolt working in combination with the other members such that the jaw contacts the support member opposite at least a portion of the pad in contact with the support member. The ends of the U-bolt pass through the pad and the jaw member so that nuts installed on the ends of the U-bolt cause the conduit to be pressed into the pad. The jaw and the pad securely clamp the support member. The jaw may include arcuate slots and/or a plurality of holes so that its angular relationship, with respect to the pad, may be varied in order to accommodate clamping the conduit at a variety of angles with respect to the support member. The U-bolt may be replaced by a saddle member and a pair of bolts, in which case the thread- ed ends could be made to point in either direction.
