Copper coated earth rods

Copper coated earth rods offer installers the most economical method of achieving a low earth resistance. Each rod has a high tensile strength, low carbon steel core. 99.95% pure copper is applied electrolytically and forms a metallurgical bond between the steel core and the copper. This combination makes the rod ideal for deep driving whilst also provides lasting resistance to corrosion. The threads are formed by a cold rolling process which ensures strength and maintains the molecularly bonded copper covering along the full length of the threads. Cold-rolled threads are stronger than cut-threads. The standard copper thickness is 0.254mm. Greater copper thicknesses are also available.
