FAQ's
What size GoldenRod® do I need?
Since you can't overprotect your valuables, we strongly recommend using the longest GoldenRod® which will fit in an area and use multiple units where necessary.
How do I figure the cubic feet in the area I need to protect?
Multiply the length by the width by the height (L x W x H = cubic feet). Say, for example, you have a cabinet that stands 6 feet tall, is 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep. 6 x 4 x 2 = 48 cubic feet which would be amply served by the 12 inch GoldenRod®.
How does GoldenRod® work?
GoldenRod® heats to a surface temperature of less than 150 degrees (which is almost too warm to hold) and circulates warm, dry air throughout an enclosure on a 24 hour basis. This increases the temperature of the air inside to several degrees above the ambient outside temperature. Expansion of the heated air forces the moist air outside through the vents or loose fitting doors leaving the dry air inside. In order to work correctly, it is important to ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
Can I install GoldenRod® myself and how do I install it?
Yes, you can do it with simple tools. Using a drill and screwdriver, just attach the universal brackets using the enclosed screws. Then snap the GoldenRod® in place into the brackets. The GoldenRod® MUST be mounted horizontally at the bottom of an enclosure to work effectively.
How many cubic feet does a GoldenRod® cover?
That depends on the model of the GoldenRod®. Pick the correct GoldenRod® based on the cubic footage you need to cover (see above) then select the model that meets or exceeds that cubic footage based on the chart below:

A Golden Rod will keep your guns dry, free from moisture and rust.
In the moist (euphemism for really wet!),even sometimes salty, of SE Alaska, guns are vulnerable. I kept a Golden Rod in my gun safe for ten years without a hint of rust or corrosion on any of them and no detectable humidity in the safe. The only space in the house capable of holding the safe was in the basement, always in the presence of sweaty pipes and tracked in snow and mud. Meantime, I experienced slight flooding of the floor from a defective furnace. The Golden Rod kept the inside of the safe slightly above room temperature and above all drier than a popcorn whatever! I now have a new safe in a new house and expect the same great soundless performance while costing only pennies per month for electricity. Wayne Nicolls, Juneau, Alaska
