Mast cross connector - 40mm bolt KM137

Cross connector for masts – solid connection with grounding

This cross connector, made of galvanized steel, is a key element in lightning protection systems. It serves to reliably connect the down conductor to masts or lightning rods, ensuring effective discharge of current to ground. Its construction guarantees connection stability and durability, even in harsh weather conditions.

The connector is particularly useful during the installation of new lightning protection systems, as well as the modernization of existing ones. It allows for easy and safe connection of down conductors to the mast structure, minimizing the risk of damage and providing full protection against the effects of atmospheric discharges.

Construction and installation

The KM137 cross connector is characterized by a simple yet solid construction. Made of steel, coated with galvanized coating, it provides corrosion resistance and long-term use. Installation is done with four M8x40 mm screws, ensuring a secure and stable connection to masts of various thicknesses. These screws are included in the set, eliminating the need to purchase them separately.

It is important to tighten the screws properly during installation – a loose connection can lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of lightning protection. Conversely, overtightening can damage the screw or connector thread. Therefore, it is recommended to use the appropriate torque during installation.
