Aluminum lightning protection mast on tripod SK 5.5-M 4P CZ 67045509

Lightning protection for roofs and equipment

This 5.5-meter aluminum lightning rod mast on a tripod is a key element of the surge protection system. It provides effective protection of metal roof elements – skylights, air conditioners, ventilation units, or ventilation ducts – against the effects of direct and indirect lightning strikes.

Its design allows for the creation of a protective zone around the protected objects, minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring safety.

The mast is made of a combination of aluminum and stainless steel (V2A), which guarantees durability and corrosion resistance. This makes it suitable for various atmospheric conditions. A lightning arrester connection for wire, necessary for the proper functioning of the system, is included in the set. The tripod has 12 concrete bases, providing stability to the structure. The dimensions of the mast when unfolded are 1187 x 1187 x 5840 mm.

Installation and application

The mast is intended for both new installations and modernization of existing lightning protection systems. The concrete base should be equipped with a dedicated pad (ordered separately), and for increased roof tightness, it is recommended to use an additional layer of roofing felt or membrane. The mast is compatible with round wire. Its universal diameter (16-40 mm) allows it to be adapted to different types of installations.

Worth knowing: The use of lightning rods is particularly important in the case of equipment that cannot be directly connected to down conductors for safety or technical reasons.

Warranty and quality

The product is covered by a 5-year manufacturer's warranty – ELKO-BIS Lightning Protection Systems – which confirms its high quality and reliability. The mast is delivered in a raw state, allowing it to be adapted to the building's color scheme or the investor's preferences.
