Ground Rod for Electrical Earthing

The Eritech 615840 is a copper bonded steel ground rod designed for electrical earthing installations. Its pointed end allows it to be driven directly into soil. The 10 mil copper coating provides corrosion resistance for a 30-yr service life. It meets IEC EN 62561-2 and UL 467 standards for grounding applications.

Driven Installation with Standard Tools

Installation requires driving the rod vertically into the ground using a hammer or powered driver until the top is at or below grade. The pointed tip penetrates typical soil conditions without pre-drilled holes. Rocky or compacted terrain can bend the rod or damage the copper coating, reducing corrosion protection. A listed ground clamp must be used to secure the conductor to the rod.

Four Foot Length for Standard Depths

At 4 ft overall length, this rod suits installations where code permits a single electrode at this depth. The 5/8 in diameter and 3.4 lb weight allow manual handling and driving by one person. It provides a single path to earth; installations requiring lower resistance or multiple electrodes will need additional rods and connectors. The copper bonded construction supports the rated service life in normal soil.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 10 mil copper coating is intact after driving the rod?

Inspect the surface for continuous copper colour without exposed steel; the rod meets IEC EN 62561-2 and UL 467 so the coating thickness is factory-controlled.

Does the package include clamps or wire, or must I buy them separately?

The rod is sold as a single 4 ft pointed copper-bonded steel section; clamps, connectors and conductor wire are not included and must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the 4 ft length or a longer version for a 30-yr service life?

The 4 ft model already carries the 30-yr service-life rating under the listed standards; select a longer rod only if local code requires deeper electrode placement.
