This makes it hard to drive a ground rod in. This rod is steel and has a pointed tip which allowed it to be driven the full length. Plus it has a very hard plate of copper on the surface ans surface conductivity is what counts for electricity. I used a heavy post driver to pound it in, and then finished off with a 3-pound sledge hammer. Its true that it is only 4 feet long, but according to my ham radio books, another rod driven in at 4 feet distance away should pretty well equal a single 8 foot rod. Review: Very satisfied - It is not 100% copper. You couldn’t drive into the ground if it was so not upset about it. It has a nice thick copper exterior. Very satisfied. ## Features - ERICO 4FT 5/8IN COPPER GROUND ROD 615840UPC ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000HEKUDG | | Action | Fast | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #350,064 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #137 in Electrical Grounding Bars | | Brand | Erico | | Brand Name | Erico | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 97 Reviews | | Grip Type | Either 'Full Wells', 'Pistol', or 'Cigar' | | Handle Material | Cork | | Included Components | electrical-grounding-bars | | Item Type Name | electrical-grounding-bars | | Item Weight | 3.4 Pounds | | Line Weight | 180 pounds | | Manufacturer | ERICO | | Manufacturer Part Number | 615840UPC | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | 615840UPC | | Model Number | 615840UPC | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Rod Length | 4 Feet | | Size | Pack of 1 | | Tension Supported | 80,000 psi | | UPC | 783961175566 782856446361 735090357610 | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Erico - **Item Weight:** 3.4 Pounds - **Material:** Plastic - **Model Name:** 615840UPC - **Number of Pieces:** 1 ## Images ![Erico 615840UPC Ground Rod - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vJqHI9DqL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the diameter?** A: The one I got was less than 1/2 inch in diameter. A 1/2 inch ground clamp would not fit. **Q: 2” thick? As listed in the product factoid box. What? How about stating the overall length as well.** A: Mine Has a sticker on it stating. 5/8 inch thick by 4 feet long **Q: will this work on cb antenna ground on top of house if so were do you attach to on antenna my antenna doesnt seem to have a place for it help anyone?** A: Yes. A 8’ ground copper clad rod is a 8’ copper clad ground rod. NEC code requires ground rods to be 8a’ so don’t buy/use 4’ rods. Also know NEC Code REQUIRES any ground rods for whatever purpose, including antenna’s so also have a #6 gauge wire run back to the main common house electrical ground/ bond point (usually where the utility power, telco, and CATV are grounded. Reasons for this are too complicated to detail here, but very important to follow because of possible fire/ shock issues. Call any licensed local Electrican for help. **Q: is there a permanent certification code marked at the top of the rod?** A: no markings ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lightning rod for ham radios. *by H***X on January 22, 2016* My yard has lots rocks just beneath the the surface.

Plus it has a very hard plate of copper on the surface ans surface conductivity is what counts for electricity.

You couldn’t drive into the ground if it was so not upset about it. It has a nice thick copper exterior. Very satisfied. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a really great real copper grounding rod! *by C***L on September 24, 2012* I found this grounding rod after a three hour search marathon on Amazon's Search Engine. It paid off though as I found this Erico grounding rod. It came in about 7-10 days just as the seller said it would. I was worried it wouldn't be made of real copper or it would just be a flimsy hollow copper piping. It came in and I was so impressed and happy with it that I wish I could give it 6 stars. This grounding rod seems to be all copper, it definitely has alot of weight to it! It is sized exactly as described. Both ends were pointed and I drove it into the ground using my hammer. It was not hard to do so. I attached the connector that was paired with it by Amazon, and it worked well, I ran 8 Gauge wire to it and clamped it down. I am using it as a grounding rod for my solar panel and batteries system. It really just feels perfectly right. My system is properly earthed, and the pricing on this ground rod was very good. I can't recommend this item highly enough. Definitely buy it. I will get myself another one just to have it around. Just in case they decide to stop making them! ## Frequently Bought Together - Erico 615840UPC Ground Rod - Sigma Electric ProConnex 41309 Ground Clamp 1/2 to 1-Inch, 1-Pack - Copper Ground Rod Clamp, Great for 1/2”- 5/8’’ Grounding Rods (2, CP58 (1/2''-5/8'')) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/15427113-erico-615840upc-ground-rod](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/15427113-erico-615840upc-ground-rod) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
