Description
Earth Rod Couplers for Threaded Rods
Specifically, earth rod couplers connect sections of threaded copper clad earth rod to form a longer continuous earthing electrode.
Therefore, they allow installers to add additional rod sections as the installation progresses, making them useful where greater driven depth is required.
Engineering Supplies stocks couplers to suit both 16mm / 5/8″ and 19mm / 3/4″ threaded earth rods.
Key Features
- Used to join threaded earth rods
- Suitable for copper clad earth rod systems
- Available for 16mm / 5/8″ rods
- Available for 19mm / 3/4″ rods
- One-piece coupling design
- Hexagonal body on current stocked models
- Allows multiple earth rod sections to be joined
- Suitable for deeper driven earthing installations
The coupler provides a mechanical connection between adjoining rod sections while maintaining alignment during installation.
Available Earth Rod Coupler Sizes
Engineering Supplies presently stocks:
| Part Number | Rod Diameter | Coupler Length |
|---|---|---|
| ER-CCS16HEX | 16mm / 5/8″ | 70mm |
| ER-CCS19HEX | 19mm / 3/4″ | 80mm |
Accordingly, select the coupler to match the diameter and thread of the earth rod being installed.
Threaded Earth Rod Applications
Earth rod couplings suit earthing systems where more than one rod section must be driven into the ground.
Typical applications include:
- Electrical earthing systems
- Utility installations
- Mining and industrial sites
- Commercial electrical installations
- Infrastructure projects
- Switchyards and substations
- Lightning and grounding systems
- Deep earth electrode installations
Therefore, for reliable installation, always use matching rod and coupling sizes.
Compatible Copper Clad Earth Rods
Indeed, we designed these couplers for use with our Copper Clad Threaded Earth Rods.
Engineering Supplies stocks threaded rods in:
- 16mm / 5/8″ diameter
- 19mm / 3/4″ diameter
