Editor's Notes
Welcome to the Mueller EZ Squeeze Training module. This module will introduce Mueller’s BU-21AEZ and BU-21CEZ and discuss their features and some typical applications.
Muller Electric offers a broad range of specialized solutions and grounding assemblies including a variety of clips, wires, and clamps.
Mueller Electric products are cost-effective and safety driven and can be customized for unique challenges in varying industries.
Mueller’s EZ Squeeze clips can be used in a wide variety of grounding applications where static discharge is a concern. Many industries that utilize hazardous or flammable materials will need to ground their tanks and barrels to prevent static spark discharge for a safe working environment.
Regular clamps can be hard to open without applying a lot of pressure. The standout feature of this clip is that it is extremely easy to open requiring only ¼ of the pressure needed to open similar clamps. The ergonomic design minimizes hand fatigue, especially in situations that require someone to have to use clamps repeatedly throughout the day. Anyone can easily use this clamp, and it is especially useful for those with weaker hand strength or arthritis.
This product data can also be found on the Data Sheet. For the most up-to-date product specifications, please check on Digi-Key’s product page.
The EZ Squeeze is used when it is part of a grounding assembly containing a wire and clip or clamp, as illustrated in the images. The EZ Squeeze can be used on one or both ends of a grounding or bonding assembly depending on the application.
Grounding is needed in any industry that uses hazardous or flammable material barrels, equipment or tanks. This includes industries such as aerospace and automotive industries, chemical engineering, automated paint lines, oil and gas, air tanks, and much more.
As mentioned earlier, there are multiple types of clamps, clips, wires, cables and assemblies from Mueller Electric. Mueller’s grounding product line contains bot specialized and versatile items. Shown here are just a few examples to show the variety that we manufacture, with more becoming available as we keep current with new trends in technology. While it may seem simple, there are many innovations that Mueller has made in this field that help to improve performance and reduce costs for the end-users.
In summary, the Mueller EZ-Squeeze is an easy-to-use clamp that take ¼ of the strength to open compared to similarly sized clips. It’s used in grounding assemblies for grounding tanks, barrels and more, and it creates a safer working environment where static discharge is a concern.
