Angled Air Terminal Rod

The Angled Air Terminal Rod (ARK-ATSL) is an ARK lightning protection component manufactured by DFMHUB in India. It positions an air-terminal tip away from an obstruction or facade where the approved lightning protection design requires an angled arrangement. It is intended for engineered systems in commercial buildings, industries, data centres, high-rise developments, infrastructure and solar projects. The catalogue code gives procurement, consultants and site teams a controlled item to coordinate with the BOQ, approved drawings and inspection plan.

An air terminal is one part of a complete external lightning protection system. Its safe performance depends on the risk assessment, selected Lightning Protection Level, protection method, conductor routes, separation distance, earth termination and inspection plan. The number or shape of strike points does not replace engineering by the protection-angle, rolling-sphere or mesh method where applicable.

The terminal and support must withstand wind, vibration and site handling while maintaining a dependable electrical path. Material compatibility matters at the rod, connector, base and roof interface. Product approval should therefore cover dimensions, material grade, corrosion protection, connection method, mechanical support and relevant test evidence for the exact supplied configuration.
