This tool is designed for use with smooth earthing rods, whether self-extending or not, up to a diameter of 19 mm. The driving tool weighs 0.280 kg. This driving tool is essential for ensuring the correct and secure installation of earthing rods in grounding and lightning protection systems.
Main functions:
Earthing rod protection: When coupled with a suitable coupling sleeve, the striking cap is placed on the top of the earthing rod as it is driven into the ground. It serves to protect the end of the rod from deformation or damage that can occur when striking it with a hammer or other striking tool.
– Uniform Force Distribution: By striking the driving head rather than directly on the rod, the impact force is distributed evenly across the entire head of the rod. This prevents deformation or splitting of the rod.
– Easier Installation: Using a driving head makes installing earthing rods easier and more efficient, especially in hard or compacted soils where considerable force is required to drive the rod in.
– Operator Safety: It provides a safer and more stable striking surface, reducing the risk of injury to the operator during rod installation.
