Furse solid copper earth rods offer greater resistance to corrosion. They are ideally used in applications where soil conditions are very aggressive, such as soils with high salt content.
Connections to the rods can be by mechanical clamps, compression or by Furse 's own "Furseweld" exothermic welding system.

Stainless steel rod
Stainless steel rods are used to overcome many of the problems caused by galvanic corrosion which can take place between dissimilar metals buried in close proximity. Furse stainless steel earth rods are highly resistant to corrosion.
Connections to the rods can be by mechanical clamps, compression or by Furse's own "FurseWELD" exothermic welding system.
