HEX Earth Pit Accessories – Copper Earth Bars & Earth Rod Seals (Single / Double Flange)

Two accessories finish an earth pit properly. HEX copper earth bars fit into the slots of the earth pit housing when several conductors have to connect to the same rod. HEX earth rod seals stop groundwater entering the earth pit chamber — used with HEX polymer pits, they suit areas with a very high water table and earth pits installed through concrete foundations and basements. Made by HEX, the brand of Brass Copper & Alloy (I) Ltd., Mumbai — an ISO 9001 company whose products are tested by CPRI (India), UL (USA), KEMA (Netherlands) and SIRIM (Malaysia).

At a glance

• Earth bars: copper, 290 × 30 × 6 mm, 12 mm holes — HEBC 05 (5 holes), HEBC 07 (7 holes)
• Earth rod seals: HESS single flange (2 kg), HESD double flange (3 kg)
• Seal standard: tested for compliance with IEC 62561-5
• Ordering: state the earth rod diameter for seals; other earth-bar hole sizes on request

Why these accessories

• Several connections, one rod — the copper bar takes multiple conductors inside the pit.
• Keeps water out — single or double flanges reduce the water pressure on the chamber.
• Made for concrete — the bottom flange sits on the damp-proof membrane for basement earthing.
• Made to your rod — seal kits are made to suit the earth rod diameter.

Frequently asked questions

What is an earth rod seal used for?

To prevent groundwater entering the earth pit chamber — for example where the water table is very high, or where the pit is installed through a concrete foundation or basement.

Single or double flange?

The single flange (HESS) or double flange (HESD) is chosen to reduce the water pressure on the chamber; the double flange gives an extra barrier.

What size is the HEX earth bar?

290 × 30 × 6 mm copper with 12 mm holes: 5 holes (HEBC 05) or 7 holes (HEBC 07).

Do I need to tell you the rod size?

Yes — seal kits are made to suit the diameter of the earth rod.
