nVent CADDY 61 Series Copper-Bonded Steel Pointed Ground Rod

nVent CADDY 61 Series Copper-Bonded Steel Pointed Ground Rod

The nVent CADDY 61 Series Ground Rod lineup delivers a dependable, code-recognized grounding electrode for electrical, telecommunications, and lightning protection installations. Each rod is manufactured from copper-bonded steel and finished with an electrolytic copper coating that is molecularly bonded to the steel core for lasting corrosion resistance, combining the tensile strength of a steel core with the conductivity of copper. Previously marketed under the Erico designation, this series is available in multiple diameter and length configurations, including the 1/2-Inch x 8-ft 611380 model, to match specific soil conditions and grounding requirements. The pointed tip on every rod eases driving into soil, making the 61 Series a practical choice for new grounding system installations and replacement of damaged or corroded ground rods.

Key Features

• 61 Series Design: Part of the established nVent CADDY 61 Series ground rod lineup, available in multiple diameter and length configurations including the 1/2-Inch x 8-ft 611380 model, formerly marketed as the Erico ground rod line.
• Durable Construction: Copper-bonded steel core provides a rigid, high-strength rod capable of being driven into a wide range of soil conditions without bending or deforming.
• Electrolytic Copper Coating: A molecularly bonded copper coating over the steel core delivers long-term corrosion resistance and dependable electrical conductivity throughout the life of the installation.
• Pointed Tip: A pointed driving end eases penetration into soil during installation, reducing installation time and effort in the field.
• Copper-Bonded Steel: Combines the mechanical strength of a steel core with the conductivity and corrosion resistance of an outer copper layer.
