Galvanized lightning conductor wire CYNK-MAL fi 8 mm, approx. 50 kg weight, approx. 128 m length

Galvanized lightning conductor wire CYNK-MAL fi 8 mm is a heavy-duty steel conductor supplied on a coil of approximately 128 m with a total weight around 50 kg. The wire is produced from hot-dip galvanized steel to provide a protective zinc coating that improves corrosion resistance and durability in outdoor and rooftop applications. This conductor is intended for earthing and lightning protection installations where a robust, continuous metallic path is required.

Advantages

The hot-dip galvanization gives the wire uniform corrosion protection, reducing maintenance and extending service life in exposed environments. With an 8 mm nominal diameter the conductor delivers high mechanical strength and low electrical resistance suitable for downconductors, bonding and grounding runs. Supplied on a compact coil of approximately 128 m it enables long, continuous runs without frequent joints and simplifies handling during installation.

Suitable for

• Rooftop lightning downconductors
• Main and supplemental grounding/earthing conductors
• Industrial and residential building lightning protection systems
• Bonding of metallic structures and equipment

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 8 mm
• Material: hot-dip galvanized steel
• Approximate coil length: 128 m
• Approximate total weight: 50 kg
• Finish: zinc coating for corrosion resistance

How to use

Install the CYNK-MAL fi 8 mm conductor as part of a lightning protection or earthing system in accordance with applicable national standards and local electrical codes. Unroll the coil to create continuous runs, avoiding sharp bends or kinks that could damage the zinc coating or reduce mechanical strength. Attach the conductor with appropriate clamps, connectors and supports rated for outdoor use and compatible with galvanized steel. Ensure secure mechanical connections and proper bonding to downpipes, earth electrodes and equipotential conductors.

Usage recommendations

Store the coil in a dry, ventilated area prior to installation to minimise surface contamination. Where different metals are connected, use compatible connectors or isolation measures to prevent galvanic corrosion. Inspect connections and exposed sections periodically and after severe weather events; repair or replace any areas with significant coating damage or corrosion to maintain system integrity.
