Description
Designed for use with standard 19 mm diameter earthing rods. Made from high-strength copper alloy, these sleeves are corrosion-resistant, weigh 0.150 kg, and comply with UL SPEC 467, IEC 62305 (and by extension NF C 17:102:2011). These sleeves are essential for ensuring strong and durable connections in grounding and lightning protection systems.
Their main function is to securely connect several sections of earthing rods together. Here are their specific uses:
– Grounding Rod Extensions: These allow you to join and extend the length of grounding rods by connecting them end to end. This is particularly useful when the length of a single rod is insufficient to reach the required depth for effective grounding.
– Ensuring a Solid Connection: The sleeves ensure that the connections between the sections of the rods are robust and reliable, which is crucial to maintaining the electrical and mechanical integrity of the entire grounding system.
– Ease of Installation: They simplify the process of installing earthing rods, allowing for a quick and efficient connection of the different sections.
– Corrosion Resistance: Made from copper alloy, these sleeves offer excellent corrosion resistance, which is essential for outdoor installations exposed to various environmental conditions.
– Compliance with Standards: Compliant with international standards UL SPEC 467, IEC 62305 and NF C 17-102:2011, these sleeves ensure that the installation meets safety and efficiency requirements.
In summary, coupling sleeves for threaded earthing rods are a key component for establishing effective and durable grounding in lightning protection systems, ensuring continuity and strength of connections between earthing rods.
