Threaded driving tip | spike for copper-bonded grounding electrode | 17.2mm

Technical Specifications

Product type: threaded grounding electrode tip
Purpose: to facilitate driving of the grounding rod
Suitable electrode: copper-bonded
Electrode diameter: Ø17.2 mm (3/4")
Connection: threaded
Material: metal (designed for mechanical loads)
Application: for driving into the ground (manual or mechanical)
Installation: screwed onto the end of the electrode

Functions

Easier electrode driving: The pointed shape reduces soil resistance and allows faster driving even in harder conditions.
Electrode protection during installation: Protects the electrode thread and tip from deformation or damage during driving.
More precise driving direction: Helps maintain straight alignment and reduces deviation risk.
Compatibility with ERICO system: Suitable for standard Ø17.2 mm (3/4") copper-bonded threaded electrodes.

Application

For household users: Used when installing home grounding or lightning protection systems. Helps drive the electrode into the ground more easily without damage, especially in hard or clay soil.

For electricians: A daily tool in grounding system installation. Enables faster and higher-quality installation, reduces defects, and saves time on site.

For engineers/designers: An important part of grounding systems ensuring proper installation. Used in projects involving deep grounding electrodes or lightning protection solutions.

For industry and construction: Widely used in large-scale projects – industry, energy, and infrastructure, where reliable and efficient grounding installation is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this tip suitable for all grounding rods?
No, it is designed for Ø17.2 mm (3/4") copper-bonded threaded electrodes (ERICO type).
Can it be reused?
Usually not – after driving, it remains in the ground as part of the system.
Is it necessary to use this tip when installing grounding?
Recommended, as without it driving is more difficult and the risk of thread damage increases.
Is it suitable for hard or rocky soil?
Yes, especially in such conditions it performs best – it reduces resistance and makes driving easier.
