With the rise of new challenges like 5G, and the EV charging industry, Big Data installers are completing even more earth rod installations than ever before. However, this can be a laborious task, often involving a large hammer, a lot of effort, and hopefully a bit of luck.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
We designed and developed a simple and effective solution that bores through hard top layers and underground rock to achieve a secure Earth Rod connection first time. This innovative, patented new solution offers installers confidence that they will be able to easily install the rod the first time, and to the desired depth. No more trial and error!
How it works
The EARTH ROD PRO has two components, sold separately. There is a reusable DRIVER (Standard SDS+ or MAX size), and a sacrificial tip BIT.
Simply attach the EARTH ROD PRO DRIVER to one end of a standard 5/8″ copper earth rod and attach the EARTH ROD PRO BIT directly to the other end of the earth rod. Using an SDS Drill, the rod can then be rapidly installed directly into the ground. The carbide-tipped BIT will chew through any rock and debris, remaining in the ground after installation.
EARTH ROD PRO DRIVER (SDS+), Product code: MSPOW053
EARTH ROD PRO BIT, Product code: MSPOW061
Please note: the installer should be completely satisfied that the ground is free from any buried electrical services prior to installing any earth rod. This should be confirmed via the use of a Ground Penetrating Radar Survey and Trial Pits where necessary. As-built drawing information alone is not sufficient to determine the presence of underground services.
