It features a high carbon steel core clad with 99.9% pure electrolytic copper, delivering both the mechanical strength needed for driven installations and the corrosion resistance required for long-term soil contact. Measuring 5\/8 inch in diameter and 4 feet in length, this ground rod is suited for residential and light commercial grounding applications where a compact rod meets code requirements. Licensed electricians and grounding contractors are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ground rod is used in grounding electrode systems for residential service entrances, light commercial electrical installations, and supplemental ground electrode applications. The 5\/8 inch by 4 foot dimension fits applications where soil conditions, burial depth, or local code amendments allow a shorter rod than the standard 8-foot length. It is driven vertically into the earth and connected to the grounding electrode conductor to provide a low-impedance fault current path to ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e99.9% pure electrolytic copper coating resists corrosion in direct soil contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh carbon steel core provides driving strength and resists bending during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCopper bonding will not crack when the rod is bent, maintaining continuous conductivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePointed steel tip aids penetration through compacted or rocky soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8 inch diameter meets common NEC grounding electrode dimensional requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style grounding electrode for use with standard ground rod clamps and acorn-style grounding connectors sized for 5\/8 inch ground rods in residential and light commercial electrical grounding systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 250 and applicable local electrical codes. De-energize all circuits before making grounding electrode conductor connections. Use a ground rod driver with a rotary hammer or manual driving tool to seat the rod; avoid striking the rod end directly with a sledgehammer in a way that mushrooms the copper cladding. The rod should be driven to the required burial depth per the governing electrical code before the grounding electrode conductor is clamped and secured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCladding\u003c\/strong\u003e: 99.9% pure electrolytic copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.38 pounds\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: NVENT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 615840UPC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NVENT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346147246386,"sku":"615840UPC","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310548713.jpg?v=1782072101","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nvent-615840upc-copper-bonded-ground-rod-5-8-x-4-ft","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
