Copper bonded ground rods (UL, Non-UL, threaded or non-threaded)

Manufactured from high tensile low carbon steel by molecularly bonding 99.9% pure electrolytic copper, these ground rods conform to BS 436O grade 43A.

Nikkon Ferro uses a unique manufacturing process, which includes drawing the steel rod to size before the copper bonding process begins. This results in a straighter, harder steel core, making installation easier. We use a carefully designed electro-plating process over the steel core thot results in a permanent molecular bond that provides decades of reliable performance.

Each rod is treated with Benzol Triozole derivatives to prevent oxidation of copper bonding.

Our state-of-the-art ISO registered manufacturing facility provides a consistent, high-quality finished product that is used in millions of installations around the world.

Optional threading:

The threads ore formed by a roll threading process which ensures strength and maintains the molecularly bonded copper along the full length of the threads. The rods con be deep driven manually or by using a power hammer.

Product Features:

  • 99.9% pure electrolytic copper coating
