15 Foot Round Steel Light Pole | 3 Inch Diameter | Anchor Base | Black

Product Overview

This is a 15-foot round steel light pole with a 3-inch diameter, designed for anchor base installation. The pole is constructed from 11-gauge steel with a hot dip galvanized and powder coated black finish. Total weight is 90 pounds.

The pole ships with anchor bolts, a base cover, and a top cap included. A tenon is not included and must be selected separately based on the fixture being mounted.

Where This Product Fits Best

This pole height and diameter are suited for parking areas, pathways, building perimeters, and other site lighting applications where a 15-foot mounting height is appropriate. The 3-inch diameter and 11-gauge wall thickness establish the structural capacity for the fixture loads indicated by the EPA ratings.

The black powder coated finish is typical for commercial and institutional sites where appearance matters. The hot dip galvanized base layer under the powder coat provides corrosion resistance for outdoor installation.

Performance and Functional Considerations

EPA ratings define how much fixture area this pole can support at different wind speeds. At 90 mph, the pole supports up to 4.1 square feet of effective projected area. At 110 mph, that drops to 2.4 square feet. At 130 mph, the supported EPA is 1.1 square feet.

These values determine which fixtures can be mounted based on local wind load requirements. The fixture manufacturer provides EPA values, which must fall within the pole''s rated capacity at the applicable design wind speed for the project location.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This pole uses an anchor base mounting method. The bolt circle is 7.25 inches, and the included anchor bolts have a 2.75-inch projection. The concrete foundation must be designed and poured to accept these anchor bolts before the pole is set.

The base cover conceals the anchor bolt connections once the pole is installed. The top cap closes the pole opening. Since no tenon is included, a tenon adapter or direct-mount tenon must be installed to accept the luminaire.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This pole is installed in concrete foundations at parking lots, walkways, and building entrances where a 15-foot height provides appropriate coverage for area or pathway lighting. The black finish is selected to match site aesthetics or existing poles on the property.

After installation, the pole requires minimal interaction. The powder coated galvanized finish holds up to weather exposure without routine maintenance. When fixtures need service or replacement, the tenon connection at the top of the pole is the access point.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This pole is covered by a 1-year warranty.

The hot dip galvanized and powder coated finish provides corrosion protection suited for outdoor use. The 11-gauge steel wall and EPA ratings define the structural limits for fixture loading under wind conditions.
