Air termination
Manufactured from high conductivity hard drawn copper or aluminium,
with rolled threads. Supplied complete with locknut.
“Field Trials in the United States, carried out over many years research have
confirmed that blunt air rods are struck by lightning in preference to taper
pointed air rods.”
“Lightning rod improvement studies” by C B Moore, W Rison, J Mathis, G Aulich. Journal of Applied
Meteorology, May 2000.
Note: during high winds and extreme weather conditions air rods over 1000 mm long can be
subjected to fatigue mechanisms. It is therefore recommended that additional supports are
considered before installation.
