## Summary description

Grounding spike ELKO-BIS 42.5 OC is a galvanized steel earthing rod with a 16 mm diameter designed for creating reliable earth connections in electrical installations. Its durable galvanization protects against corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor grounding of buildings, antenna masts, and electrical panels. Use in driven or hammered installation with appropriate connectors to ensure low-resistance grounding and safety.

## Long description

Grounding spike ELKO-BIS 42.5 OC is a galvanized steel earthing rod with a 16 mm diameter designed for creating reliable earth connections in electrical installations. The rod's corrosion-resistant zinc coating and solid round profile provide mechanical strength and long-term conductivity for outdoor grounding of buildings, antenna masts and electrical panels. The product is intended for driven installation into soil using appropriate tools and connectors to form a low-resistance protective earth electrode.
Advantages
The galvanized steel construction offers enhanced resistance to corrosion and soil electrolytes, extending service life in typical outdoor environments. A 16 mm diameter core combines sufficient mechanical rigidity for driving into various soil types while maintaining good conductive cross-section for grounding currents. The smooth, round surface facilitates installation and connection with standard clamps and earthing accessories. The product is suitable for individual rods or as part of a multi-electrode grounding system to achieve required earth resistance.
Suitable for
 Protective earthing of residential and commercial buildings
 Grounding of antenna masts, towers and outdoor lighting poles
 Earthing points for electrical distribution boards and single-phase equipment
 Temporary or permanent installations where driven rods are required
Key specifications
 Material: galvanized steel
 Diameter: 16 mm
 Shape: solid round rod
 Surface treatment: hot-dip or electrolytic zinc coating for corrosion protection
 Installation method: driven/hammered into soil
How to use
Select a location clear of buried utilities and with adequate soil conductivity. Drive the rod vertically into the ground using a driving tool or hammer until the required depth or the specified earth resistance is reached; leave a suitable length exposed for clamp connection. Attach an appropriate earthing clamp or connector to the exposed rod end, ensuring a tight, conductive connection to the grounding conductor. If multiple rods are used, space them according to grounding design recommendations and interconnect with appropriately rated conductor to achieve the target resistance.
Usage recommendations
Periodically inspect the exposed connection and clamp for corrosion or looseness and maintain vegetation control around the grounding point. For installations in rocky, frozen, or highly corrosive soils, consult local electrical standards and consider supplemental measures such as additional rods, conductive backfill, or use of specialist coatings. Always follow national electrical codes and safety procedures when installing earthing systems.
