.5-In. X 8-Ft. Bonded Ground Rod

A copper-bonded ground rod engineered for reliable electrical grounding in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The 1/2 inch diameter, 8 foot length rod combines a steel core with a uniform electrolytic copper coating to provide both strength and excellent electrical conductivity. Ground rods establish a secure connection between electrical systems and the earth, safely dissipating fault currents and surge voltages to protect equipment and structures from electrical damage.

This bonded ground rod resists corrosion significantly better than galvanized alternatives, delivering a 30-year service life in most soil conditions. UL-listed and engineered to exceed industry safety standards, this rod provides dependable performance for grounding electrical systems and structures.

Features and Benefits

• Copper-bonded construction: Steel core uniformly coated with electrolytic copper provides superior corrosion resistance and long service life compared to galvanized options.
• Uniform plating: Consistent copper coating ensures reliable performance and enhanced durability across the rod.
• High tensile strength: Average tensile strength of 80,000 psi and straightness tolerance of 0.010 in per linear foot meet demanding installation requirements.
• UL listed: Exceeds ANSI/UL 467-1984, CSA, and ANSI/NEMA GR-1 standards for safety and performance assurance.
• Standard dimensions: 1/2 inch diameter and 8 foot length suit a wide range of grounding applications.
