ELKO-BIS 42.3.1 OC Grounding Rod Driving Head 20x20mm Galvanized

The ELKO-BIS 42.3.1 OC driving head is a professional-grade accessory engineered specifically for the installation of 20x20mm grounding rods. This component serves as a critical interface between the driving tool and the rod, ensuring that the force applied during installation is distributed evenly without damaging the rod structure. Constructed from high-quality galvanized steel, it provides excellent resistance to environmental factors and mechanical stress, making it a reliable choice for professional earthing system installations.

Advantages

The primary benefit of using this driving head is the protection it offers to the grounding rod during the driving process. By absorbing the impact from hammers or mechanical drivers, it prevents the deformation or mushrooming of the rod end, which would otherwise complicate the connection of grounding clamps or conductors. Its robust galvanized steel construction ensures long-term durability and resistance to corrosion, maintaining the integrity of the grounding system even in challenging soil environments.

Suitable for

• Installation of 20x20mm square grounding rods
• Professional earthing system construction
• Grounding projects in various soil types
• Protection of rod ends during manual or mechanical driving

This driving head is not suitable for grounding rods with dimensions other than 20x20mm, as the fit must be precise to ensure safety and effectiveness. It is also not intended for use with non-standard driving equipment that may exert excessive or uneven force beyond the design specifications of the component.

Key specifications

• Compatibility: 20x20mm grounding rods
• Material: Galvanized steel
• Function: Impact protection during rod installation

To use the driving head, place it securely onto the top end of the 20x20mm grounding rod before beginning the driving process. Ensure that the head is seated firmly and aligned vertically with the rod axis to prevent slippage or damage. Apply force consistently using an appropriate manual or mechanical driving tool, checking periodically to ensure the head remains properly positioned throughout the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your grounding rods are exactly 20x20mm in cross-section
• Ensure your driving equipment is compatible with this type of driving head
• Assess the soil conditions to determine if additional grounding accessories are required

Usage recommendations: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety gloves and eye protection, when installing grounding systems. Inspect the driving head for signs of excessive wear or structural damage after each use to ensure continued safety and performance.
