Abstract
Provided herein is a connecting strap or spanning strap that is adapted for use in interconnecting adjacent insulated and/or electrically isolated pipeline sections to provide electrical continuity. Various aspects of the spanning strap are based on the realization that different attachment mechanisms may benefit from differing geometries of the spanning strap. Specifically, it's been determined that the geometry of an attachment aperture extending through the connection strap for use in welding or soldering strapped an underlying surface may be advantageously designed.
