Abstract
A means for securing a grounding point in a stable position and stable means. Length of rod like material with a 1½ turn in center length, two offset bends on opposing sides after 1½ turn bend allows insulators and bolt to level. Opposing sides, short horizontal length between offsets to vertical down bend. Pipe radius bend travels, below center axis of desired pipe size radius, for gripping action. At end of radius bend a short outward bend, to aid in the applying and removing the ground from the pipe, and for protection of the pipe coating, Coated for insulation except for the 1½ turn bend, where movement of spring action is desired for holding power. Left side near vertical down bend, tube attached for holding the ground cable in a secure manor.
