THOMPSON
LIGHTNING PROTECTION CONTINUALLY SEEKS TO IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS AND IS CURRENTLY
COMMITTED TO A MAJOR QUALITY UPGRADE PROGRAM FOR THE MOST COMMONLY USED
CAST BASES, FITTINGS, AND SPLICERS, ETC. THIS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
EFFORT INCLUDES BOTH BRONZE AND ALUMINUM COMPONENTS.
THE KEY ELEMENT OF THIS UPGRADE HAS BEEN TO CONVERT TO HIGH QUALITY DIE-CAST PRODUCTION INSTEAD OF THE TRADITIONAL SAND CAST METHOD.
THE CASTINGS THAT RESULT FROM THIS PRODUCTION METHOD ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO THOSE PRODUCED BY OTHER METHODS. THIS DIE-CAST METHOD INJECTS MOLTEN METAL UNDER PRESSURE INTO PRECISION MACHINED MOLDS AS OPPOSED TO THE CONVENTIONAL, LOWER TOLERANCE GRAVITY-FED MOLDS USED BY OTHER COMPANIES. THE RESULT OF THIS SUPERIOR PRODUCTION PROCESS ARE FITTINGS OF MUCH BETTER FINISH, SUPERIOR GRAIN STRUCTURE, DENSITY, AND OVERALL STRENGTH.
THE SYMBOL SHOWN HERE IS USED THROUGHOUT THIS CATALOG TO DENOTE THOSE FITTINGS THAT ARE AVAILABLE AS A RESULT OF THIS IMPROVED PRODUCTION METHOD THAT IS UNIQUE TO THOMPSON LIGHTNING PROTECTION, INC.
