Frequently Asked Questions

Is one rod enough for grounding?
Usually not – a set of rods is required depending on soil conditions and required resistance.

Is an additional tip required?
No, this rod is pointed and can be driven directly into the ground.

How are multiple rods connected?
Conical couplings are used, which compress during driving and ensure good contact.

Is it suitable for lightning protection?
Yes, these rods are widely used in lightning protection systems as part of grounding.
