The rod measures 5\/8 inch nominal diameter with an actual diameter of 0.539 to 0.555 inches and 8 feet in length. High-strength steel is immersed in molten zinc to form a rust-proof barrier with a minimum zinc thickness of 3.9 MIL per ASTM A-123. The galvanized finish delivers outstanding corrosion resistance for long-term performance in direct-burial grounding installations. Each rod is stamped for inspectability and traceability. Licensed electricians and grounding system installers drive this rod into earth as part of a compliant grounding electrode system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gr6258 is suited for use in grounding electrode systems installed per the National Electrical Code. It applies to new construction and retrofit grounding work across residential, light commercial, and industrial sites where a driven rod electrode is required. The matching coupling number for rod extensions is GRC-54G, allowing multiple rods to be coupled end-to-end where soil conditions or code require greater depth. Rods are packaged in a standard bundle of 100 units with a sub-bundle of 5, making this SKU appropriate for contractors stocking job-site supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot-dip galvanized finish with minimum 3.9 MIL molten zinc thickness per ASTM A-123\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-strength steel core for driven-rod installations in hard or rocky soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eActual diameter 0.539 to 0.555 inches — meets 5\/8 inch nominal per NEMA GR-1 and ANSI C135.30\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStamped for inspectability and traceability on the job site\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL Listed and meets NEC grounding electrode requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with GRC-54G coupling for rod-to-rod extensions.

Power down the system and confirm lockout\/tagout procedures before making grounding connections. Drive the rod to the required burial depth using a ground rod driver or rotary hammer with appropriate driving tool — do not use the rod tip as a pry point or lever. Inspect the stamping on the rod before installation to confirm traceability documentation for the inspection record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 feet (96 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.539 to 0.555 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-strength steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot-dip galvanized, minimum 3.9 MIL molten zinc per ASTM A-123\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: UL Listed, NEMA GR-1, ANSI C135.30, NEC compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight per 100 units\u003c\/strong\u003e: 640 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Package Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSub-Bundle Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatching Coupling\u003c\/strong\u003e: GRC-54G\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GALVAN INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: gr6258\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GALVAN INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51620779524402,"sku":"GR6258","price":34.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b650a47c8c65b34b9fe54aad2f0a0ea6.jpg?v=1787346320","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/galvan-industries-gr6258-ground-rod-5-8-x-8-ft-galvanized","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
