Q1: What is the difference between solid Copper and Copper bonded ground rods?
Solid Copper rods offer superior conductivity and corrosion resistance but at higher cost. Copper bonded rods provide cost-effective performance for standard applications with steel core strength and Copper surface conductivity.

Q2: How do I select the appropriate ground rod diameter for my application?
Rod diameter selection depends on soil conditions, fault current levels, and local electrical codes. Generally, 12.7mm rods are suitable for residential applications, while 16-19mm rods are preferred for commercial and industrial installations.

Q3: What materials are compatible for minimizing galvanic corrosion?
Copper-to-Copper connections provide optimal compatibility. Bronze clamps work well with Copper conductors. Avoid direct contact between Copper and steel without proper protection or transition materials.

Q4: Can your grounding accessories meet IEEE and UL standards?
Yes, our products are manufactured to comply with IEEE 837, UL 467, and other relevant international standards. Certification documentation is available upon request for specific product lines.

Q5: What surface finishes are available for Bronze components?
Standard natural Bronze finish, tin plating for enhanced corrosion resistance, and nickel plating for specific environmental conditions are available depending on application requirements.

Q6: How do you ensure consistent thread quality on couplers?
Thread rolling processes create superior thread profiles with enhanced fatigue resistance. All threaded components undergo go/no-go gauge testing to ensure dimensional compliance with ANSI specifications.

Q7: What is the minimum order quantity for custom products?
Minimum order quantities vary by product complexity. Simple modifications typically require 100-piece minimums, while complex custom designs may require 500-1000 pieces to justify tooling costs.

Q8: Can you provide material certificates and test reports?
Complete material traceability documentation including mill test certificates, dimensional inspection reports, and performance test data are provided with each shipment as standard practice.

Q9: What packaging options are available for international shipping?
Standard export packaging includes moisture-resistant materials and shock-absorbing cushioning. Custom packaging with customer labels, part numbering, and specialized containers available for distributor and OEM customers.

Q10: How do you handle quality issues or product returns?
Our quality guarantee includes full replacement or credit for any manufacturing defects. Technical support team investigates all quality concerns and implements corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
