ELKO-BIS 43.010 AL Lightning Protection Mast, 16mm Diameter, 1m Aluminum

The ELKO-BIS 43.010 AL lightning protection mast is a professional-grade component engineered for the construction of external lightning protection systems. With a diameter of 16mm and a length of 1 meter, this aluminum mast serves as a critical air-termination element, designed to intercept atmospheric electrical discharges and safely conduct them toward the grounding system. Its robust construction ensures long-term durability and resistance to environmental factors, making it a reliable choice for both residential and industrial infrastructure projects.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this lightning protection mast lies in its high-quality aluminum construction, which offers an excellent balance between structural rigidity and lightweight handling. The material is naturally resistant to corrosion, ensuring that the mast maintains its integrity even when exposed to harsh weather conditions over extended periods. Its standardized 16mm diameter ensures compatibility with a wide range of mounting accessories and holders, simplifying the installation process for professional installers and reducing the time required for system assembly.

Suitable for

• Residential building lightning protection systems
• Industrial facility air-termination networks
• Commercial building roof-mounted protection
• Integration into existing external lightning protection installations

This mast may not be suitable for applications requiring significant height extensions beyond its 1-meter specification without additional support structures. It is also not intended for use as a structural load-bearing element for non-lightning protection equipment, such as heavy communication antennas or large signage, as this could compromise the effectiveness of the lightning protection system.

Key specifications

• Material: Aluminum
• Diameter: 16 mm
• Length: 1 meter
• Application: External lightning protection air-termination

To use the ELKO-BIS 43.010 AL mast, it must be securely mounted to the roof or structure using compatible holders that ensure electrical continuity with the lightning protection network. The mast should be positioned at the highest point of the area requiring protection to maximize its effectiveness as an air-termination rod. Ensure that all connections are tightened according to standard electrical safety practices to prevent resistance at the joints.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required height for your specific lightning protection design
• Ensure compatibility with your existing mast holders and mounting brackets
• Check local building codes and lightning protection standards for installation requirements

For optimal performance and safety, ensure that the mast is installed by a qualified professional in accordance with local lightning protection regulations. Regularly inspect the mast and its mounting points for any signs of mechanical damage or loosening caused by extreme weather events.
