Product Information:

Kingsmill Double Flange Earth Rod Seals have been designed for use in concrete slabs with a nominal thickness of 300mm. They will withstand a pressure up to 80psi (5.5 bar) and have been tested accordingly.

A waterproof earth electrode Double Flange Earth Rod Seal for use in constructions where internal earths are specified.
Material: High Density Plastic

Unique design allows the seals to be used with a broad range of rod diameters. Use with PPIT-G Plastic Inspection Pit.

Features:

Standard: BS:EN 62561-5:2011 and an extended 5 day test following
BS:EN 62561-5 test conditions

More Information:

Benefits: Additional Earth Rods can be driven at a later date, with no additional parts or causing damage to the Earth Rod Seal.

Also available as a Single Flange Earth Rod Seal

Extended Seal Tubes are available if needed in installation and range from 500mm to 3000mm.

For installing lightning earthing system applications, We recommend the use of Copper earth electrode systems due to their inherent low resistivity and corrosion resistance.

Materials used in earthing systems must be able to:

  • withstand mechanical damage,
  • resist corrosion,
  • provide a low impedance path to earth,
  • and carry the maximum fault condition for the application/installation.

For protective earth networks and lightning protection applications our range encompasses:
Copper earth rod, earthing pole, copper bonded ground rod, earth ground rod, earth rod connector, earth rod cover, earth fitting, earthing studs, ground clamps for ground rod, ground pole and grounding post.

Our castings are high quality/high copper content complying to BS 7430 and BS 62561-1. Additional to our range are UL listed copperbond earth rods and exothermic welding.

Installation Notes:

Ingress of water from anywhere other than around the Earth Rod Seal is the responsibility of the installation contractor. The Earth Rod Seal flange and components must be free from dust/debris/grease/paint before pouring the concrete (highest quality and fully compacted to ensure sealing).

Performance depends on the integrity of the surrounding concrete. The main concrete slab must not be shuttered out and the Earth Rod Seal fitted later.

Application:
