Threaded copperbond earth rod
Furse copperbond earth rods probably offer to the installer the best and
most economical earth rods available. They are made by molecularly
bonding 99.9% pure electrolytic copper on to a low carbon steel core.
Furse rods are not of the sheathed type. They are highly resistant to
corrosion, and because the steel used has a very high tensile strength,
they can be driven by power hammers to great depths.
The counter-bored couplings are made from high copper content alloy,
commercial brass is not used. This again ensures excellent corrosion
resistance and high strength.
Copper thickness minimum 250 microns.
