The air terminal declines the endangers developed by lightning strikes.jmv

Wall Mounting Air-termination rods are installed with the help of two or more supporting clamps required to be fixed on the vertical facade to intercept direct lightning flash-overs onto the structure. The air termination rod can be specifically installed where definite space for positioning of Air Termination Rod on the roof is not necessarily available.

The air terminal shall be preferably installed at the corners or exposed points and edges. For Roof-Mounted Structures, say Mumty etc., provision of wall mounted air terminal can be given, specifically if no scope for Air Termination Rod arrangement can be maintained over that structure.
