Reliable Aluminium Ground Rods Earth Rods for Effective Grounding
Conex’s Aluminium Ground Rods Earth Rods are designed for secure and efficient grounding, ensuring reliable performance in industrial, utility, and commercial systems.
High-quality CW Outdoor Cable Glands of Aluminium by Conex, ensuring robust and reliable cable management in challenging outdoor environments.
At Conex Aluminium Components, we manufacture **CW Outdoor Cable Glands of Aluminium** designed for outdoor cable management applications. Made from high-grade aluminium, these glands provide excellent weather resistance, corrosion protection, and durability in harsh environments. Ideal for securing cables in industrial, utility, and commercial outdoor systems, they ensure leak-proof connections and easy installation. Available in various sizes and configurations, Conex also offers customization options to meet specific project needs, delivering superior quality and performance in demanding conditions.
No. Aluminium corrodes when buried in moist soil or embedded in concrete, so IEC 62561-2 and BS 7430 do not use it for earth electrodes. Buried electrodes should be copper-bonded steel, solid copper or stainless steel; aluminium rods are used above ground.
Aluminium rods are used above ground as air terminals, bonding bars, conductor supports and test points in lightning protection and earthing systems, or in other applications specified by the system designer.
IEC/EN 62561-2 covers conductor and earth-electrode materials and dimensions, while BS 7430 and IEEE 80 give guidance on earthing system design and electrode selection.
Aluminium rods are available in diameters from 12 to 20 mm and lengths up to 3 m, cut to length and threaded or pointed to specification.
Rods are made from 6063-T6 or 6082-T6 aluminium, giving good strength, stiffness and atmospheric corrosion resistance.
Yes. M16 or 5/8 in UNC threads are commonly cut on one or both ends so the rod can screw into bases, couplers and clamps.
Rods connect through aluminium rod-to-tape clamps or couplers. Where the system changes to copper below ground, a bi-metallic Al–Cu connector is fitted above ground level.
Use copper-bonded steel rods (typically 250 µm copper), solid copper rods or stainless steel rods with compatible couplers and clamps. We can advise on the correct transition from aluminium above ground.
Diameter, length, straightness and thread quality are checked, and material certificates can be supplied with each batch.
Yes, above ground. Use stainless steel fixings and sealed joints, and anodizing can be added for extra protection in salty air.
Yes. Aluminium weighs about one third as much as copper, which makes long rods easier to handle and install on roofs and towers.
Aluminium is cheaper than copper, less attractive to metal theft, and compatible with aluminium roof and down conductors, avoiding galvanic corrosion in the air termination system.
Yes. Custom diameters, lengths, threads and tip shapes are produced to drawing, from an MOQ of 10 pieces.
MOQ is 10 pieces. Samples are typically ready within 2–3 weeks and production within 4–6 weeks.
Please provide diameter, length, thread or tip details, finish, intended use (above or below ground) and quantity.
