Galvanized/Stainless Ground Rods

Copper Coated Ground Rods

Galvan’s copper coated rods have a heavy, uniform coating of copper metallurgically bonded to a rigid steel core.
Color-coded to reduce errors.
UL Listed rods have 10-mil minimum (254 microns) copper plating. UL/RUS models have 13-mil minimum of copper but 10-mil coating is acceptable.
Galvan manufactures copper-coated rods under patent 6,527,934.
Rods less than eight feet or less than 10 mils of copper, do not meet UL requirements, nor the NEC Code.
RUS now accepts 10 mils of copper. Please see page 5.
Made in USA.
