Copper faced earth lug
Copper faced earth lug
(OP)
We have to weld grounding lugs on our package skids. Usually we weld a small stainless steel pad in the corners for the customer to ground to. We have been asked to supply a copper faced ground.
We would rather not go to a plating company as we have such a small quantity of pieces. Does anyone have a commercial source for a steel grounding lug that is copper faced?
Thanks in advance.

Plating really isn't that expensive. I would just make your grounding pad a little longer. Make it out of regular steel. Send them to the plating shop and have them just plate the end around the bolt hole. Then include the unplated part in your painting of the rest of the skid. You would probably save money over the price of the stainless. (unless this plate is really small).
