Driving head | tip for grounding rods | Ø14.2 mm | DH58M ERICO | professional driving tool

Technical Specifications

Product type: driving head (driving tip)
Purpose: for driving grounding rods into the ground
Compatibility: conical grounding rods
Rod diameter: Ø14.2 mm
Manufacturer: ERICO
Construction: designed for impact work
Usage: manual or with mechanical tools (e.g., hammer drill / hammer)
Material: high-strength metal (resistant to impact and deformation)

Functions

Precise rod centering – ensures stable guidance of the grounding rod into the ground without deviation
Efficient impact transfer – allows maximum use of driving force and faster achievement of the required depth
Protection of the rod from deformation – reduces the risk of damaging the top of the grounding rod during driving
Universal use – suitable for both manual work and use with a hammer drill or other impact equipment

Protects the rod from deformation
Speeds up grounding works
Suitable for both manual and mechanical driving
Durable and impact-resistant
Reliable results even in difficult soil

Disadvantages

Suitable only for a specific diameter
Not universal for all rods
Requires an additional tool (hammer / hammer drill)

What is the driving head made of?

Made of high-strength metal (tool steel), resistant to impacts, deformation, and intensive use in demanding conditions.

What is this driving head used for?

It is designed for driving grounding rods into the ground – ensures safe, precise, and efficient installation without damaging the rod.

Where is it most commonly used?

Used for residential grounding installation, lightning protection systems, industrial facilities, solar power plant grounding, and construction and infrastructure projects.

Is it necessary to use a driving head?

Recommended – it protects the rod from deformation and allows more efficient transfer of impact force.
