Ground Rod ELKO-BIS 100 cm 5/8" (model 14200104)

Ground Rod ELKO-BIS 100 cm 5/8" is a driven grounding electrode designed for establishing an earth connection in electrical installations. The rod is 100 cm long and features a 5/8" threaded top to accept connectors and couplers for secure mechanical and electrical connection to grounding conductors. It is intended for use as a grounding electrode for buildings, lightning protection systems and electrical distribution boards to improve earthing resistance in soil and ensure the safe operation of electrical circuits.

Advantages

The rod’s length and standard 5/8" thread enable straightforward installation with common grounding clamps and couplers. Manufactured for electrical grounding use, the rod provides a robust, corrosion-resistant metal surface suitable for direct driving into soil to form a low-resistance earth connection. Its simple geometry and standardized thread make it compatible with extension rods or additional grounding accessories when deeper grounding is required.

Suitable for

• Driven grounding for residential and commercial buildings
• Earth electrodes for lightning protection systems
• Bonding and grounding of electrical distribution boards and panels
• Temporary or permanent grounding in construction and utility sites

Key specifications

• Length: 100 cm
• Top thread: 5/8" (standard threaded connection for grounding accessories)
• Form factor: single straight driven rod
• Material: metallic conductive rod suitable for soil insertion
• Typical application: driven into soil to form an earth electrode

How to use

Install the rod by driving it vertically into the ground at the chosen location using a hammer driver or appropriate driving tool until the required depth is reached or the top is at the desired level. Connect the grounding conductor to the threaded top with a compatible clamp or coupler tightened to secure both electrical contact and mechanical retention. If deeper grounding is required, join additional rods or extensions using compatible threaded couplers. Follow local electrical codes and grounding standards for placement, spacing and connection methods.

Usage recommendations

Select installation locations with good soil conductivity and avoid rocky obstructions; maintain proper clearances from underground utilities. Inspect the threaded connection and clamp for corrosion and mechanical tightness periodically. When used in corrosive soils, consider additional protective measures or sacrificial electrodes according to local regulations. Always comply with applicable national or local electrical grounding standards during installation.
