Blackburn 6260 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn 6260 ground rod the 5/8 inch by 10 foot size required by most electrical inspectors?
Yes. The Blackburn 6260 is a 5/8 inch (15.8mm) diameter rod, 10 feet long, which is the size electricians are most often asked for on service grounding electrodes. It is UL listed under E3060.
2) Does a ground rod order come with a clamp, or do I have to buy that separately?
The 6260 is sold as the rod alone, one each per unit. The acorn or direct burial clamp that bonds the grounding electrode conductor to the rod is a separate purchase, so add a clamp sized for 5/8 inch rod to the order.
3) Is this ground rod UL listed for electrical inspection?
Yes, the Blackburn 6260 carries UL listing E3060. That is the file reference an inspector or a submittal package will be looking for on a grounding electrode.
4) Can this 10 foot rod be driven where there is bedrock or shallow soil?
Not fully, and that matters. A 10 foot rod is meant to be driven its full length. Where rock stops the drive, the usual practice is to angle the rod up to 45 degrees from vertical, or bury it horizontally in a trench at least 2-1/2 feet deep. If the site is solid rock near grade, a driven rod may be the wrong electrode entirely and a concrete encased electrode or ground plate should be considered.
5) Is the 6260 a solid copper rod or copper bonded steel?
The 6260 is a copper ground rod in the 5/8 inch by 10 foot size. What the data states about it is the diameter, the length, and the UL listing (E3060). For a job spec that calls out solid copper versus copper bonded steel construction, match the spec to the manufacturer's construction callout before you commit the order.
6) What part number should I give purchasing for the Blackburn 5/8 by 10 copper ground rod?
Order it as Blackburn model 6260. That is the manufacturer part number for the 5/8 inch by 10 foot copper ground rod, and it ships as a single rod per unit.
