Blackburn GR6256 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Blackburn GR6256 ground rod?
The GR6256 is a 5/8 inch (15.8 mm) diameter rod, 6 feet (1.8 m) long, galvanized. That 5/8 by 8 versus 5/8 by 6 distinction matters on the job: the 6 foot length is the shorter of the common sizes, so confirm what your inspector will accept before driving it.
2) Does the Blackburn ground rod come with a clamp?
No. The GR6256 is sold as the rod only, priced and shipped each. You will need to order a ground rod clamp sized for a 5/8 inch rod separately to terminate the grounding electrode conductor.
3) Is the GR6256 galvanized or copper-bonded, and where should each be used?
The GR6256 is a galvanized steel rod, not copper-bonded. Galvanized rods are the usual choice where the grounding electrode system and connected conductors are also steel or where dissimilar-metal contact is a concern; copper-bonded rods are typically specified where the rod is tied directly into copper grounding conductors and longer soil life is wanted. If the drawing calls out copper-bonded, this one does not substitute.
4) Can I couple two Blackburn GR6256 rods together to get more depth?
The GR6256 is a plain 6 foot rod; it is not described as threaded or sectional, so treat it as a single-piece driven rod. Where rock or shallow soil stops the drive, the normal field practice is a second rod spaced apart and bonded, not stacking this one.
5) How many GR6256 rods do I get per order?
Ordering is by the each, one 5/8 by 6 foot galvanized rod per unit, so buy the count your ground ring or supplemental electrode plan calls for.
