Galvan Industries has expanded its ground rod line to include new knurled copper- bonded ground rods for use in electrical T&D applications. Galvan\u2019s pre-knurled ground rods cut the time for compression grounding installation in half.<\/p>\n

Knurling increases the pullout value of a compression connection by as much as 20%, but
\nknurling in the field is time consuming. A special die is needed for the compression tool to create the knurled surface. Afterward, the knurling die must be removed and replaced with a different die to install the lug.<\/p>\n

Galvan\u2019s knurled rods eliminate the need for additional tooling and the time required to
\nuse it, making the installation of the compression lug to the ground rod a one-step process.
\nLike all of Galvan\u2019s copper-bonded ground rods, the new knurled rods have a heavy, uniform coating of copper metallurgically bonded to a rigid steel core for excellent longevity in
\nmost soils. They are listed to UL-467 with a 10-mil. minimum copper plating.<\/p>\n

Galvan Industries offers a wider selection of US-Made ground rods than any other manufacturer. Galvan is the only U.S. manufacturer to produce in-house: galvanized ground
\nrods, threaded and straight-end copper-bonded ground rods, threaded and straight-end stainless steel ground rods, knurled ground rods, plus solid copper ground rods. The new pre-knurled copper-bonded ground rods are available now in the most popular diameters and lengths.<\/p>\n

Galvan\u2019s new knurled ground rods are completely made in the USA and meet Buy
\nAmerican requirements for government funded infrastructure projects. They are NESC
\ncompliant.<\/p>\n

For more than 60 years, Galvan Industries has been a trusted supplier of electrical
\ngrounding products used residential, commercial, and industrial applications, including
\nconstruction, cable TV, lightning protection, power generation, telecommunications and OEM
\nmarkets.<\/p>\n
