15 Foot Square Steel Light Pole | 4 Inches Wide | Anchor Base

Product Overview

This 15 Foot Square Steel Light Pole is designed for mounting area, roadway, and site lighting fixtures in commercial and industrial environments. The pole features a 4-inch wide square profile, 11-gauge steel construction, and an anchor base for secure installation on concrete foundations. Hot dip galvanizing and powder coating provide corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor use. Typical installations include parking lots, commercial sites, and campus areas where 15-foot mounting heights are required for effective light distribution.

The included 2 3/8 inch tenon supports standard slipfitter and bracket-mounted luminaires. This pole is suitable for new construction or replacement projects where structural integrity and consistent finish are required. EPA ratings support a range of fixture combinations within specified wind load limits.

Core Performance and Output

This pole supports a total mounting height of 15 feet, providing appropriate elevation for area and site lighting in mid-scale exterior environments. The 4-inch square steel shaft and 11-gauge wall thickness deliver structural strength for mounting single or multiple fixtures, with a maximum EPA rating of 15.2 at 70 mph. EPA capacity decreases at higher wind speeds, with a rating of 6.8 at 120 mph. The anchor base design ensures stable installation on properly engineered concrete pads.

Hot dip galvanizing and powder coating protect against corrosion and weathering. The 2 3/8 inch tenon accommodates most slipfitter and bracket-mounted luminaires. Excessive fixture weight or EPA beyond rated limits will compromise structural performance and is not supported. This pole is not intended for mounting heights above 15 feet or for use in high-wind coastal zones without additional engineering review.

Adjustability and Control Options

The pole includes a 2 3/8 inch tenon for mounting fixtures with slipfitter or bracket arms. This allows for directional aiming and adjustment of compatible luminaires. The square profile supports a range of mounting accessories, including bullhorns and multiple fixture brackets, within EPA and weight limits.

No integrated electrical control features are provided. All fixture control, wiring, and sensor integration must be managed at the fixture or circuit level. The pole does not include handholes or access panels beyond the anchor base connection.

Longevity and Reliability

11-gauge steel construction and hot dip galvanizing provide long-term resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. The powder coated finish adds an additional layer of protection and maintains appearance in outdoor environments. The anchor base design ensures secure attachment to concrete foundations, minimizing risk of movement or tilt over time.

Routine inspection of mounting hardware and finish is recommended to maintain structural integrity. The pole is designed for typical service life in commercial and industrial exterior settings, with a 1-year warranty covering material and manufacturing defects.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This pole is fabricated from 11-gauge steel, with a 4-inch square cross-section and a total height of 15 feet. The pole weighs 134 lbs and features an 8-inch bolt circle for anchor base installation. The finish is hot dip galvanized and powder coated, available in bronze or white.

The anchor base provides a stable interface with concrete pads, and the 2.75-inch bolt projection supports standard mounting hardware. The included 2 3/8 inch tenon is compatible with most area and site lighting fixtures. The pole is engineered for exterior use and resists common environmental exposures.

Where This Product Fits Best

This 15-foot steel pole is suited for exterior environments where moderate mounting heights are required for area, roadway, or site lighting. It is commonly installed in commercial parking lots, along roadways, and in campus or industrial yard settings. The pole supports a range of area and site lighting fixtures within EPA and weight limits.

• parking lot lighting
• roadway lighting
• area lighting
• commercial site lighting
• sports facility lighting
• campus lighting
• industrial yard lighting
• dealership lighting

The pole is designed for outdoor use in environments with moderate wind exposure. Corrosion-resistant finish supports long-term deployment in urban, suburban, and light industrial locations. Not intended for coastal or high-wind regions without additional engineering review.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires a properly engineered concrete foundation with an 8-inch bolt circle to match the anchor base. The pole is delivered with a 2 3/8 inch tenon for direct fixture mounting. All mounting hardware and anchor bolts must be specified to match site conditions and fixture load requirements.

Routine inspection of anchor bolts, finish, and fixture mounting hardware is recommended to ensure ongoing structural integrity. The pole?s finish resists corrosion, but periodic cleaning and touch-up may be required in harsh environments. The design supports standard maintenance practices for exterior lighting infrastructure.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This pole is typically installed at 15-foot mounting heights for area and site lighting applications. Fixture spacing and layout depend on the type and output of luminaires used, as well as site lighting requirements. Common practice is to space poles to achieve uniform light distribution and minimize dark spots in parking lots or along roadways.

Multiple poles are often deployed in grid or linear patterns, with fixture count and aiming adjusted to meet site-specific needs. Using higher output fixtures can reduce the number of poles required, but may increase glare or require careful aiming to control light spill.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This steel light pole is engineered for exterior use and meets standard structural requirements for commercial and industrial lighting support. Hot dip galvanizing and powder coating provide corrosion resistance. EPA ratings are specified for wind speeds from 70 mph to 120 mph.

The pole is covered by a 1-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects. All installations must comply with local codes and engineering standards for pole foundations and wind loading. No additional safety certifications are specified.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum EPA and fixture weight this pole can support?

A: The maximum EPA is 15.2 at 70 mph wind speed. Fixture weight and EPA must not exceed these ratings. Refer to the EPA table for higher wind speeds.

Q: What type of fixtures can be mounted on the included tenon?

A: The 2 3/8 inch tenon is compatible with most slipfitter and bracket-mounted area, site, and roadway lighting fixtures.

Q: What foundation is required for installation?

A: A properly engineered concrete foundation with an 8-inch bolt circle is required to match the anchor base. Anchor bolts must be specified for the site and load.

Q: How should poles be spaced for parking lot lighting?

A: Spacing depends on fixture output, site geometry, and lighting requirements. Typical layouts use grid or linear patterns to achieve uniform coverage.

Application Questions and Clarification

Q: Is this pole suitable for sports facility lighting at 15 feet?

A: Yes, this pole can be used for sports facility lighting where 15-foot mounting heights are appropriate and EPA limits are not exceeded.

Q: Can this pole be used in coastal or high-wind environments?

A: The pole is rated up to 120 mph wind speeds, but additional engineering review is recommended for coastal or extreme wind locations.

Q: Are handholes or access panels included?

A: No, this pole does not include handholes or access panels beyond the anchor base connection.
