UL-Listed Galvan Gold Series Galvanized Ground Rods
Cost Savings and Code Compliance Since 2004
Since Galvan industries brought the first UL-Listed galvanized ground rod to market in 2004, electrical contractors and inspectors now think differently about ground rods.
Today’s contractors see listed galvanized ground rods as a cost-saving, easier-driving alternative to full-size rods. A listed galvanized rod also gives contractors the flexibility to choose a safe, code-compliant product with either copper-bonded or galvanized corrosion protection, depending on their needs.
Many inspectors now ask contractors to leave a shovel-full of dirt away from the top of the rod for inspections. When the listing symbol is visible on any ground rod, they know it meets code. When there is no visible listing mark, it is impossible to know if a driven rod meets NEC requirements, especially for length.
Our color-coded ground rods eliminate errors
Galvan Industries introduced the color-coding of ground rod tips in 2006 to help customers minimize or eliminate order fulfillment errors, making it possible to tell different rod diameters apart in a single glance. No calipers are required. Galvan’s color-coded ground rods make your life easier.
