Additional Resources
Product Overview
This 18-foot square steel light pole provides 15 feet of height above grade with a 3-foot direct burial section. It is built from 11-gauge steel with a 4-inch-wide square profile.
The pole includes a 2 3/8-inch tenon for fixture mounting. Its hot dip galvanized and powder coated bronze finish supports long-term exterior installation.
Core Performance and Output
This pole has an EPA rating of 15.2 at 70 mph, decreasing to 3.8 at 140 mph. Pole-mounted fixture weight and fixture EPA must remain within the applicable wind-load rating.
The 15-foot above-grade height supports lower-height roadway, parking lot, area, and site-lighting layouts. The 121-pound steel construction provides a rigid direct-burial support structure.
Higher wind speeds reduce available EPA capacity. Fixture selection must account for the pole EPA rating at the project wind speed.
Adjustability and Control Options
This pole includes a fixed 2 3/8-inch tenon. The tenon establishes the fixture mounting location at the top of the pole.
No fixture controls, dimming components, or electrical accessories are included with the pole. Control capability depends on the mounted fixture and its associated equipment.
Longevity and Reliability
The steel pole uses a hot dip galvanized and powder coated finish. The bronze coating provides the finished exterior appearance.
Direct burial installation places 3 feet of the pole below grade. Installation quality, soil conditions, and proper alignment affect long-term pole stability.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole measures 18 feet overall and stands 15 feet above grade after installation. Its square profile is 4 inches wide.
This model is constructed from 11-gauge steel and weighs 121 pounds. The direct-burial configuration does not use a base plate.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits exterior projects requiring a 15-foot above-grade steel support with direct burial installation. Its EPA ratings support fixture and wind-load review for each site.
- parking lot lighting
- roadway lighting
- commercial site lighting
- area lighting
- campus lighting
- industrial yard lighting
The galvanized and powder coated steel construction is intended for exterior pole installations. Site wind conditions, fixture EPA, fixture weight, and burial conditions must be reviewed together.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The pole installs with 3 feet buried below grade, leaving 15 feet above grade. The pole must be set plumb before the surrounding installation work is completed.
The top-mounted 2 3/8-inch tenon accepts a compatible fixture mount. Fixture installation should occur after the pole is secured and aligned.
Long-term use requires periodic review of the pole finish, tenon-mounted fixture connection, and visible signs of damage. Any fixture change requires a new EPA and weight review.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
In parking lot lighting, roadway lighting, and commercial site lighting layouts, the 15-foot above-grade height is used where a lower pole profile is required. Pole positions follow the planned roadway edge, parking layout, or site coverage pattern.
For area lighting, campus lighting, and industrial yard lighting, fixture orientation is set from the pole top to match the lighting layout. Spacing and fixture quantity depend on the selected fixture output, distribution, mounting height, and target light levels.
A higher-output fixture can reduce pole count, but its EPA and weight must remain within the applicable wind-speed rating for this pole.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole has a 1-year warranty.
No certifications are stated in the supplied product data.
