12 AWG grounding pigtail for circuit boxes

The Gardner Bender GGP-1282N is a 12 AWG stranded grounding pigtail designed to secure ground wires inside a circuit box. Each pigtail measures 8 inches and features a captured screw on one end with a bare fork terminal on the other. They are supplied in a bag of 25 pieces for residential or commercial electrical work.

Pre-assembled terminals reduce installation effort

The captured screw and bare fork terminal ends arrive ready to connect, eliminating the need to strip and crimp separate connectors. Stranded 12 AWG copper wire provides flexibility for routing inside crowded boxes while maintaining a secure ground path. The 8-inch length offers sufficient reach for standard device and box combinations.

Replaces field-made jumpers for faster rough-in

Electricians who currently cut and terminate their own grounding jumpers will save time on each connection point. The pre-made format ensures consistent quality across the job and reduces scrap from cutting errors. The 25-count bag suits projects requiring multiple ground terminations without opening several smaller packs.

Questions about this item

How do I install the GGP-1282N grounding pigtail and what step is often missed?

Loop the captured screw end around the box grounding screw, tighten firmly, then connect the bare fork terminal to the device ground; the step often missed is ensuring the fork seats fully under the device terminal screw.

What maintenance or replacement will the GGP-1282N pigtails need over time?

Inspect each #12 AWG stranded pigtail during any circuit work; replace any that show corrosion, broken strands, or a loose captured screw — no scheduled replacement interval exists.

What limit appears first when the GGP-1282N pigtails are under sustained load?

The #12 AWG stranded copper conductor reaches its ampacity limit before the captured screw or fork terminal degrades, so circuit current must stay within the wire rating.
