can I use this wire with the ss-725cs unit? Metal ground rod, should be of what material and what length? Thanks!

I did, and had no problems with the wire, actually I bought a heavier wire as the lighter wire broke and tangled easier than the heavy guage. A steel alloy rod, purchased from Home Hardware, used for grounding house wiring, did the trick. Make sure its in damp ground, where you install the grounding rod, I would run the hose around my ground rod now and again, just to make sure.

Works just fine on mine. it's just a wire splice, so as long as your wire gauge isn't too big, you'll be fine. And I think I have 14 gauge wire, the biggest there generally is.

I can't say officially, but the metal is not too thin. I'd guess as much as a 12 AWG wire could handle would be fine. They're cheap enough you can just test one to failure and report your results.

I installed 45' of 3/4"CSST and used dielectric unions , this was a propane tank installation.With 3/4" copper from the propane tank to the house. Used #6 ground wire for electrical bonding.

Two conductor wire will work OK.However to be code compliant you should use two conductor AND a ground wire>

Yes the link Val posted is correct. You can find a grounding block at lowes, Menards, .... here. CableWholesale Single, 2.5GHz F-Pin (Coax) Grounding Block (200-278) What you do is connect the RG6 cable to it run a copper wire to it then to a ground point. Some examples of grounds would be metal gas piping on outide of house (you can buy a pipe clamp to connect dont drill into pipe), grounding rod, or copper water lines to name a few.Also make sure you have your tv connected to a surge protector power strip that is UL rated.

Yes, I have a ssb-7 on one. You have to get a pl-259 barrel connector to replace the cb stud

The wire should work with any system. Much heavier than the thin stuff that comes in a kit. We have it underground and also in a plastic tube where it crosses the driveway (strangely the signal seems to be lower there). Above ground should theoretically give the best signal but the chance of damage is pretty high. We rented a small trencher with a special attachment for laying this wire.

Unsure about wire that may be burried. Suggest you call manufacturer and discuss with them for a definitive answer.

A metal conducting rod or pipe, like a foot long copper pipe driven into the ground should work.

Older installations won't have a matching ground wire. The ground wire is for safety, but not strictly necessary. Simply cap it off as you do the other leads and be very careful none of the wrong wires touch each other when you push the box in.

Basically, driving a metal rod in the ground and running a grounding wire from the antenna (some have lugs for this) to the grounding rod. Electric supply stores have what you need and can give you tips. Some city code calls for copper, some don't care what you use. The electric supply store will know if your city has a specific code to deal with lightning arrestors/grounding.

It works fine with my DogWatch system. I think I used about 800' of this boundary wire, and a 100' coil of the High Tech twisted wire. (Note--I've read that you shouldn't mix and match different types of boundary wire as they may transmit the fence signal different distances.)

I haven't purchased this yet, but if there is no ground wire connection on the unit, then you just connect the ground wires from the incoming cable and outgoing cable together in a plastic box. If you do use a metal box, then you should run a pigtail ground wire to a grounding screw in the box to ground the box, but it would be easier to just stick with a plastic box so you don't have to worry about grounding the box.

Unfortunately I don't know what size the wire I used is. It came with the house but is was a tight fit. Other reviews I read said no to 16 gauge wire. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I drove a 4 foot grounding rod into the ground and wired (same size of wire or larger) it to the ground lead from the surge protector. This gives the protector way to bleed of any surge and dump it to ground. If location will not allow you to drive a rod, you can run wire back to a house ground and attach to it.

I use the Lincoln 0.35 wire, it's a good all around type of wire and it's inexpensive.
