Furse
Furse air rods are manufactured from highly-conductive, hard-drawn copper or aluminium, and provide an excellent, durable strike point for lightning. Supplied with locknut and rolled threads, these air rods fix easily to our air rod bases forming part of the Furse air termination network.
Furse air rods are available in a range of sizes and materials (see product information table below).
NOTE: During high winds and extreme weather conditions air rods over 1,000 mm long can be subjected to fatigue mechanisms. It is therefore recommended that additional supports are considered before installation of the air rods.
