Galvan Industries' New Color-Coding Helps Make Ground Rod Size Verification EasierHARRISBURG, N.C. - In a measure to simplify identification and eliminate inventory and installation mistakes, Galvan Industries is now color-coding its line of copper and galvanized ground rods. Under the new system, effective on future shipments, different colors reflect different diameters of the company's ground rods. The colors will be painted on the pointed ground rod ends. Non-UL listed 1/2-inch galvanized and copper rods will feature green ends. UL-listed 1/2-inch rods in copper or galvanized will be painted orange. UL-listed 5/8-inch copper and galvanized rods will be unpainted. The company's 5/8-inch RUS-listed copper ground rods will be indicated with yellow. UL-listed 5/8-inch copper and galvanized rods will carry the "Gold Series" marking. Galvan Industries is a major manufacturer of copper-clad, hot-dip galvanized and stainless steel ground rods and ancillary electrical products. The first hot-dip galvanizing operation in the Carolinas, the company has grown to become the largest capacity contract galvanizer in the Southeast.
