5/8 X 10 Foot Ground Rod Galvanized
GR10GROD 5/8" x 10' Galvanized Ground Rod
A Galvanized ground rod that is 5/8 in. nominal in diameter with a length of 10 ft . Zinc-Coated exteriors are hot-dip galvanized for solid protection against corrosion , The ground rod meets NEC , UL and in accordance with ASTM® , use 5/8 inch Ground Rod Clamp for #6, #4 copper, use 3/4 inch clamp with 7/16 inch IWRC wire rope (sold separately). Suitable for burial after attachment (see our self amalgamating sealant tape). Use for REV. F Grounding of Tower Base and Down Guys or Telescopic Antenna Masts. Select a ground rod clamp based on conductor to be attached (see details).
REV. F Tower Grounding kits are based on 8 foot ground rod use, REV. G Tower Grounding Kits use 10 foot ground rods (that can only be shipped LTL Freight). REV. F Tower Grounding Kits use #4 Solid or Stranded Copper (use a regular 5/8 inch ground rod clamp), whereas REV. G Tower Grounding Kits rely on 7/16 inch Galvanized Steel Wire Rope (select the 3/4 inch ground rod clamp we sell here).
TURNBUCKLES / CLEVICES / STRANDVICE
Hot Dipped Galvanized is used to adjust the tension on Guyed Towers

PLP-GWD Guy wire Dispenser available (optional)
Complete Telescopic Guy Wire Kits are also available.
ANCHORS
Guy Anchors are used to attach the guy-wire that helps support a tower, antenna mast or even utility poles. The anchoring is accomplished by using rods, usually made from galvanized steel, that are screw driven, concreted into the ground or backfilled with earth.
An anchor must be designed and rated to resist the maximum amount of tensile load, forces tending to cause extension of the guy wires and anchoring system; both the dead load of the tension of the wire and the maximum possible theroretical live load due to wind, gravity, ice and other forces of nature. The attached guy wires exercises its force at an angle, and because of this angle the anchor will have r two forces of both, vertical or (up and down) and lateral (back and forth) forces on it known as lateral shear. Ground anchors rely on the lateral shear strength of the soil. This strength or cohesion helps to mitigate by spreading the the forces from the guys wires connected to it over a large surface area.
