Static Dissipaters for Towers and Buildings |
||||||||||||
 |
Static Dissipaters These products are very similar to the Cortana Static-Cats that you may be familiar with. The EN-1 Eagle Nest Static Dissipater for towers. Each side of the nest is 30" long. Four 5/8" x 4' stainless steel all-thread rods mount it to the top of a tower usually surrounding a beacon light. The photo on the right shows two men installing one on a tower. The job took about an hour. The price is only $1200.00. This is a quality product that is worth the cost and much more. Dissipaters bleed off static charges that build-up on towers. The end result is they prevent lightning strikes or reduce the intensity of any strike that may occur. The shipping weight is 30 pounds. |

The Gila Stat GS-3 is typically used at 200 foot intervals on towers. It has a 2" x 17" aluminum bar with 1/8" stainless steel rods sharpened to points. A 5/8" x 24" all-thread mounting rod is included. The cost is $300.00. Shipping weight is 8 pounds. You need to specify the leg diameter of the tower it will go on. If it is an angle-iron tower, then specify a bolt hole diameter that is currently being used on the tower at the height where the unit will be mounted. You will need to remove that bolt and re-insert it through the mount of the Gila Stat. Also, specify if the hole is on the side or top of the tower. The mount is included in the price. |
