<strong>GROUNDING</strong> & <strong>BONDING</strong><br />
Copperbonded Pointed Ground Rods<br />
A uniform copper thickness provides better corrosion resistance in most soil<br />
conditions. Copperbonded rods last longer, drive easier and will not crack.<br />
Copper exteriors, molecularly bonded to nickel-sealed high-strength steel<br />
cores, exceed the requirements of<br />
ANSI ® /UL ® 467-1984 (ANSI C33.8-1972) and CSA ® .<br />
Copper Coating: standard copper plating thickness exceeds UL and ANSI specs.<br />
of 0.254mm, conforms to KEMA 83C and EN50164-2 Norms.<br />
The rods exceed a tensile strength of 515,000 kPa and straightness tolerance of<br />
8.3 x 10-4m/m.<br />
Extending rods may be extended with use of threadless couplers.<br />
TYPE CC Threadless Couplings<br />
for Copperbonded Pointed Rods<br />
Enables ground rods to be driven deep quickly and easily<br />
without the risk of rod separation.<br />
Made of high-strength silicon bronze.<br />
Tapered so that when the rod is driven into the coupling,<br />
the two parts compress to form a conductive connection.<br />
Type DH<br />
Tempered steel<br />
Driving Heads<br />
Earthrod<br />

Copperbonded Sectional Ground Rods<br />
Couplers<br />
Copperbonded externally coupled ground rods have all the features of standard<br />
copperbonded rods plus cold-rolled threads at each end for joining with couplings.<br />
The cold-rolled threads of ground rods with their continuous unbroken grain flows<br />
are stronger than cut-threads.<br />
High-strength couplings are threaded bronze and chamfered at both ends for easy<br />
driving.<br />
Threaded coupling design allows for full contact of rod point with butt end of<br />
preceding rod. These high strength, corrosion-resistant couplings ensure low<br />
resistance copper-to-copper connections.<br />
Couplers for threaded rods<br />
Steel driving studs for sectional<br />
ground rods<br />
Solid copper and stainless steel threaded<br />
ground rods<br />
Type SCR (solid copper)<br />
C101 to comply with material standards.<br />
For use in highly corrosive soil conditions.<br />
Rod to Cable Lug<br />
(Split Clamps)<br />
Manufactured in Gunmetal (LG2) and Naval Brass to comply with material<br />
standards<br />
Rod to Cable Lug clamps (threaded and unthreaded)<br />
Permits easy connection of ground conductors to both threaded and<br />
unthreaded ground rods<br />
Type SSR (Stainless steel)<br />
A2 grade<br />
The ERITECH ® brand of Ground Rod<br />
Drivers from ERICO is the simple,<br />
effective and affordable way to install<br />
ground rods.<br />
Ground Rod Driver<br />
This one tool enables driving of rods to ground level, without heavy<br />
sledge-hammers or ladders and without deforming the end of the rod.<br />
Heavy-duty steel construction provides robustness and excellent driving<br />
force, while the soft rubber ergonomic grip provides user comfort.<br />
The Ground Rod Driver includes driver body with<br />
soft rubber grip, insert for driving rods to ground<br />
level, and retaining collar which holds insert in<br />
place during storage.<br />
Usable on all types of round ground rods: copperbonded, galvanized, stainless steel<br />
14,2 mm (5/8”) and 17,2 mm (3/4”) inserts are interchangeable with standard driver<br />
body to enable easy driving of standard rods.<br />
The driver will not deform the end of the rod, making connection of the ground<br />
conductor quick and easy<br />
Integral insert prevents driver from slipping off the rod near ground level.<br />
Convenient retaining collar holds the insert in the tool when not in use.<br />
Self-contained and easy to store.<br />
Saves time and money and dramatically reduces risks of employee injury.<br />
