Modern building specifications often require that earth points are located within the building itself, which means that earth rod electrodes must pass through the building’s foundations or ground slab.

In such applications, where the structure’s damp proof provision has been pierced, it is necessary to prevent the upward seepage of water by utilisation of a suitable sealing mechanism around each earth rod electrode.

Furse market leading Earth Rod Seals have offered the most effective solution to this problem for years. Now, Furse have improved the internal compression seals to enable easier installation of the earth rod.

It also enables removal of the compression seals if required without the risk of damage.

Features and benefits:
 -  Manufactured using a lightweight polymer for simple cost effective installation

 -  Corrosion resistant, preventing unnecessary maintenance costs

 -  Pressure tested to 80 psi or 5.5 bar (equivalent to a 55 m head of water)

 -  Designed for use with Furse high performance lightweight earth inspection pit, which eliminates the need for time consuming shuttering around the top of the earth electrode

 -  Minimal on site assembly is required, and clear, easy to follow instructions are provided

 -  Compliant to BS EN 62305-3 standard and tested to BS EN 50164-5.
