Earthing

The Wallis market leading range of earth rod seals are simply the best available in the industry offering 4 variations with very few components, extremely robust and simple to install.

Office blocks in the modern city are frequently adjoined therefore requiring earth rods to be located within the building footprint. In such cases earth rods are usually installed in the basement or underground car park, which requires the earth rod to pass through the buildings floor slab and water proof membrane.

In such cases in order to prevent water ingression an earth rod seal is required around the earth rod. The Wallis earth rod seals are purpose designed to meet this need. They are extremely robust offering heavy duty sealing as well as being simple to install.

The Wallis seals offer superior features and benefits:

• One seal fits all – One seal fits all diameters of earth rods and does not require complicated adaptor kits.
• Extremely robust – Damage during installation is highly unlikely.
• Very few components – With minimal components for each earth rod seal the risk of lost parts is effectively eliminated.
