Dangerous sparking may occur between the external Stormaster system and the following
components:
∆
Metal installations
∆
Internal systems
∆
External conductive parts and lines connected to the structure
The dangerous sparking can be avoided by means of:

Installation of Stormaster GI Terminal to Threaded Pipe

LPI offers within its range of Stormaster terminals a GI version which is designed for a threaded
connection to a 2 inch BSP GI pipe. Please refer to drawings on pages 12 and 13 along with
Figure 15 for further details.
The Stormaster GI terminal is supplied with a threaded coupler (female thread) fixed to the
terminal and designed for connection to a 2 inch pipe (male thread).
∆
Following installation of the Stormaster GI terminal to the threaded pipe as per Figure 15
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 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 per "Installation of Conventional Downconductors" on page 23
