Coupling -
for Threaded Copperbond Earth Rod
These Wallis couplings join lengths of threaded copperbond earth rods
together. They facilitate deep driving and ensure continual contact
between the rods, during and after driving.
The coupling also protects the rod threads while using the driving stud.
The coupling has a lead in for ease of assembly and a hex on the
outside for grip and keeping the coupling tight when driving into 3/4"
the ground.
Wallis couplings have a high copper content ensuring excellent acid and 5/8"
corrosion resistance.
