Solid Copper Earth Rods Features
- Solid Copper Earth Rods feature an internal tapped hole at each end which allows them to be joined together with the use of a coupling dowel.
- When deep driving a solid copper earth rod the usual practice is to insert the rod into a bore hole and backfill with either Low-Resistance Earthing Compound or Bentonite.
- Available with different threaded version.
- Threads are formed by roll threading process to ensure extra strength and avoid the risk of chipping while driving the rods in the ground.
Solid Copper Earth Rods Applications
- For earthing Installation.
- Solid copper earth rods are installed where extremely high corrosion resistance and exceptionally long service are required.
- Commonly used where soil conditions are more aggressive, i.e. areas with high levels of salt content.
