10-16mm Tapered Air Terminal Rod with Base

The 10-16mm Tapered Air Terminal Rod with Base (ARK-AT16) is an ARK lightning protection component manufactured by DFMHUB in India. It provides a raised strike-reception point at the position defined by the engineered lightning protection layout. 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.

DFMHUB supplies ARK as a manufacturer-led product range rather than an assortment of unrelated trading items. Drawings, material selection, fabrication or assembly, dimensional inspection, packing and order-specific documentation can be coordinated before dispatch. The final technical submittal should state the exact grade, dimensions, finish, tolerances, connection details and test evidence agreed for the selected configuration. This approach builds traceability without replacing project engineering with broad marketing claims. Tapered 10-16 mm rod profile

Engineering confidence: DFMHUB supports 10-16mm Tapered Air Terminal Rod with Base (ARK-AT16) with product identification, dimensional review, material/finish confirmation and order-specific documentation as agreed in the quotation or approved submittal. The component must be selected as part of the complete engineered system, not by product code alone.
