Lightning protection conductor RO 18X28, grey color /3m/ W2611

Lightning protection pipes – protection and durability of the installation

Lightning protection pipe RO 18x28 is a key element of surge protection systems, designed to safely discharge surge currents in the event of lightning strikes. Made of high-quality modified PVC, it provides reliable protection for buildings and electrical installations. It is a solution for both professional installers and end customers who value safety and long-term operation.

Construction and application

The RO pipe is intended for laying conductors in lightning protection installations, in accordance with PN-EN 62305-3. Its rigid construction and high mechanical strength (compressive strength 1250N and impact resistance 2.0 kg/300mm) guarantee effective protection against damage caused by surge current flow. Additionally, the self-extinguishing material minimizes the risk of fire spreading in the event of a short circuit or insulation damage. The pipe is used in both external and internal installations – preventing damage to plaster and facade walls caused by the thermal expansion of lightning protection conductors. The possibility of surface mounting and installation in hollow walls increases the flexibility of application.

Key features and benefits

• Protection against electric shock: The RO pipe protects against touching energized elements near the lightning protection device, minimizing the risk of electric shock to people and animals.
• Mechanical strength: The thick wall (5 mm) provides high resistance to impacts, compression and other mechanical factors, which translates into a long service life of the lightning protection system.
• Resistance to weather conditions: The material is resistant to UV radiation, which guarantees the durability of color and mechanical properties even with prolonged exposure to sunlight.
• Fire safety: The self-extinguishing material limits the spread of fire in the event of an electrical failure.
• Wide temperature range: The possibility of operation in the temperature range from -25°C to +60°C makes the RO pipe suitable for use in various climatic conditions.
• Compatibility with accessories: Dedicated ZRO connectors and steel brackets (10111 for 28mm pipe) are available, which enable correct installation and ensure compliance with PN-EN 62305-3.
• Chemical resistance: The pipe exhibits high resistance to many chemical compounds (weak and strong acids, weak bases), which increases its durability in an aggressive industrial or urban environment.

Lightning protection pipe RO 18x28 is an investment in the safety and reliability of the surge protection system – for both residential and industrial buildings.
