An earthing and lightning protection system carries fault and lightning currents safely into the ground. HEX makes the earth rods, rod accessories, earth pit chambers, earth rod seals and earth bars, offers ground enhancing chemical compounds, and makes the clamps, bonds, conductors and holders that connect them. The catalogue also lists ESE air terminals for lightning protection. The range is divided into system components and accessories.
Copper-bonded, solid copper, mechanically clad and stainless steel earth rods, with rod clamps, couplers, driving studs and heads, earth rod seals, polymer and concrete earth pit chambers, ground-enhancing chemical compounds, earth bars for earth pits and an ESE-based lightning protection air terminal.
Copper alloy and brass clamps, rod, tape and pipe bonds, test clamps, air rod saddles and terminal bases, tape clips and conductor holders, earth bars and links, earth plates, copper tape, braids and conductors.

The earth electrode (rods or plates), the earth pit and its chamber, the connections (clamps, bonds, test clamps), the air termination (air terminals and rods) and the down conductors (copper tape, braids or cable).
Earthing gives fault current a path to ground. Lightning protection intercepts a strike and carries it to the same earth termination.
The earthing catalogue (PDF) lists dimensions, materials and product codes for every product group, and states the standard each range is made or tested to.
