• Following installation of the Stormaster GI terminal to the threaded
pipe as per drawing ST-2 and figure 13 it will be necessary to
connect the metallic pipe to a conventional downconductor in order
to convey the lightning energy to the earthing system.
• Ideally the connection between the metallic pipe and the
conventional downconductor should be completed by lugging
or exothermically welding (LPI EXOWELD) the downconductor at a
practical point somewhere along the length of the pipe.
• Particular care should be taken to ensure that compatible metals are
used when connecting the downconductor to the metallic pipe.
• For installation details of the conventional downconductor please
review instructions and comments as detailed under the heading
Installation of Conventional Downconductors on page 21.
