Good Morning.
I recently installed a US Tower HDX589. I also installed a number of 3/4" 10ft ground rods. Then cad-welded #2 stranded copper wire to the rods. I am now trying to determine the best way to connect the #2 wire to the tower base. In past installations, I simply drilled a hole thru the tower base steel, used a stainless bolt/nut/washer, and fastened a copper ground lug to the tower. Then stick the ground wire into the lug and tighten it.
Before I break out the drill this weekend, does anyone have a better solution?
