Cutting tool to adjust rod length
The 1/2-inch diameter rod hole is shown in the following bottom and side view of the
100W.
To install the 100W endpoint on a rod
1. Remove the pit lid. Inspect the area to make sure there are no buried cables, pipes, or
other obstructions.
2. Measure the depth of the pit box from the top of the lip (where the lid will rest) to the
bottom of the pit. Be sure to measure the depth at the point where the rod will be
driven into the ground.
3. Add 12 inches to the pit box depth measurement taken in step 2. The resulting total
represents the minimum length of rod needed. Soil types and moisture conditions may
require longer rod lengths to ensure the endpoint is well supported and remains
vertical.
