All I want to mount a quick connector for my generator ground wire.

Would a Dinse 10-25 panel mount connector work or is there a better option?

Note the wall is brick/rock.

I suggest you check with a local electrical inspector to see if it meets code requirements. I doubt you can legally put a quick disconnect on a ground cable.

@dieselscout80 I'm confused.

What are you trying to quick connect?

How big is your generator, and how is it connected to the house wiring?

Do you have a ground rod driven for your generator, and you want a connector for the rod to generator wire?

As a general practice, bolting the ground wire to the rod with a ground clamp is the general method. It is a life-safety item that one doesn't want the safety ground to come apart due to vibration or other issue.

All the best, Peter

I should have said it’s to the ground rod.

Our 12k generator connects to the house with a 50 plug.
