Not where I really want to be
I have been unable to find any split bolt that is listed to be used on a ground rod. I have found some that may be used on rebar but never for a ground rod. Is anyone aware of any split bolts that are listed and labeled for use on ground rods.

The problem I have with this one is that I have no way to access the listing....So I don't know if it is a violation.
 
Shirley I can ask the contractor for the listing but all I’ll get is a blank stare. After a long wait the contractor will try a different clamp. Aha! success.

So how did it play out with your example?
