Earthing Pit Cover (EPC06)
Earthing Pit Cover or EPC06 is another earthing product manufactured by Electrogrip. The EPC06 is made of polypropylene, which is a thermoplastic polymer product with a high melting point. It offers excellent performance. The main purpose of using an earth pit cover is to cover the remaining earthing system, which stays above the ground. By covering the connection part, it saves lives from electrical hazards. With a height of 27 mm and the diameter is 150 mm, this earthing pit cover is capable of bearing a load up to 34.12 kN. The size is enough to cover the outer portion along with the connection portion of the earthing system. It also makes the maintenance of the earthing system easier, you can just open it and do the needful.

Material details:
The main material that is used here is polypropylene, which is also known as polypropene. It is basically a thermoplastic polymer produced through chain-growth polymerization. It has a high melting point ranging from 160 degrees to 171 degrees Celsius (320 to 340 degree Fahrenheit), which makes it suitable to use as an earthing product. Polypropylene is non-reactive to non-oxidizing and as well as bases. So there is a very rare chance of participating in any reaction in the field of use. This is a ductile material along with high load-bearing capacity.
Working principle:
The earthing pit cover or EPC06 is used to protect the connection part of the earthing system, which stays above the ground. We have built it with a factory-made hole, which provides the path to the grounding wire. Made with ductile material, EPC06 is capable of bearing a load of 34.12 kN. Due to its non-conductive property, it is safe from getting shocked by touching its body.
Installation:
The main purpose of using an earthing pit cover is to cover the earthing rode or earthing electrode and protect the connection portion from outer damages. The connection portion stays above the ground and we cover it with the earth pit cover. It has factory built holes so that the grounding wire can pass through it. At the top, a green cover totally matches with the environment.
Advantages:
There are several advantages of earthing pit cover or EPC06
- Compact size
- Made of polypropylene
- High melting point
- Can withstand in extreme atmosphere
- Can bear load up to 34.12 kN or kiloNewtons.
