EARTH RODS AND FITTINGS

Copper Bonded Earth Rods offer the installer an efficient and economical
earth rod grounding system.
Kompress Earthing Equipment will provide protection against the effects
of lightning strikes, short circuits, leakage currents and static charges.

EARTH BARS AND DISCONNECTING LINKS

Manufactured from 50mm x 6mm high conductivity copper bar to
BS 2874 - C101.

EARTH BLOCKS
Manufactured in tinned brass for earth conductor termination, adjacent to
consumer units and in street lighting columns.

FLEXIBLE BRAID BONDS

Made from flexible copper braid for bonding across expansion joints,
gates, doors and fences, etc.

FLAT TAPES
Manufactured from high conductivity annealed copper tape in
accordance with BS 1432 - C101.

CONNECTORS AND FIXINGS

Test and junction clamps. Conductor fixing clips.

LIGHTNING CONDUCTOR FITTINGS

Air rods, saddles, holdfasts and couplings.

INSTALLATION GUIDANCE
Earthing Equipment should be installed following the recommendations
as laid down in BS 7430:1998 British Standard Code of Practice for
Earthing and the current edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations.
Lightning protection systems should be installed in accordance with
BS 6651:1992 British Standard Code of Practice for the Protection of
Structures against Lightning.
