Lightning Rod Installation Videos

Part 1: Here is a  video showing how to attach a lightning rod to a tile or corrugated sheet roof.

As you watch this video, pay attention to the following things:

  • How securely the lightning rod is attached to the roof.
  • How the rod is attached before the roofing materials. This will allow the roofing sheets to be changed if there is a leak in future, without disturbing the lightning protection system.
  • How the wooden rafters themselves form the insulation from the roofing structure.

 

Part 2: Here is a second video showing how to attach a lightning rod to a concrete roof.

As you watch this video, pay attention to the following things:

  • How securely the lightning rod is attached to the roof.
  • How the rod is insulated from the roof using plastic spacers.
  • How well the wiring is bolted on to the lighting rod.
