ABSTRACT

An anchor for lightning protection systems includes a base and pad that extend
over a sufficient area and a sufficient bearing length to hold in shear and in
tension against the weight, shear force, and moment of cables, points, and
other components of a lightning protection systems. A universal point mount
may be forged to optimize cross sectional area and contact surface area
throughout the mounting system. Drilled and tapped to receive a point oriented
arbitrarily, the head mounts easily on a horizontal or vertical mounting
surface. Apertures and fasteners provide arbitrary positioning of a point at
any necessary orientation.
