Single Fixture Surface Mount 2 3/8 Inch Tenon | Bronze

Product Overview

The Single Fixture Surface Mount 2 3/8 Inch Tenon is a steel slip fitter designed for mounting a single light fixture to a flat surface or pole top. This accessory provides a secure interface for area and post top lighting fixtures that require a 2 3/8 inch tenon. The bronze powder coated finish offers a neutral appearance suitable for commercial and site lighting environments. Typical use includes mounting area lights or post top fixtures on steel or concrete surfaces where direct pole installation is not possible.

This mount is commonly used in parking lots, commercial sites, and roadway lighting projects where a tenon-based fixture needs to be surface mounted. The 2 3/8 inch tenon is a standard size for many area and post top luminaires.

Core Performance and Output

This surface mount slip fitter is constructed from powder coated steel and supports a single fixture with a 2 3/8 inch tenon interface. The accessory is rated for a 5 lb load and is intended for use with standard area and post top fixtures. Structural performance is suitable for typical site lighting applications where wind load and fixture weight are within standard limits for single luminaires.

There are no electrical ratings or certifications associated with this accessory. It is not intended for use with oversized or multi-fixture assemblies. Excessive fixture weight or high wind load environments may require additional structural evaluation.

Adjustability and Control Options

This slip fitter provides a fixed 2 3/8 inch tenon for mounting a single fixture. There are no integrated aiming, tilt, or rotation adjustments. The accessory does not include any electrical control features or wiring provisions.

Fixture orientation is determined by the mounting surface and the fixture?s own adjustment capabilities. For applications requiring precise aiming or multi-directional mounting, a different mounting accessory may be required.

Longevity and Reliability

The powder coated steel construction provides corrosion resistance for typical outdoor environments. The bronze finish is durable and resists chipping and fading under normal use. The accessory is designed for long-term installation with minimal maintenance requirements.

Routine inspection of mounting hardware and surface integrity is recommended, especially in high-traffic or exposed locations. The product carries a 1 year warranty from the date of installation.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This surface mount slip fitter is fabricated from steel and finished with a bronze powder coat. The tenon measures 2 3/8 inches in diameter, compatible with standard area and post top fixtures. The total weight is 5 lbs, allowing for straightforward handling during installation.

The accessory is designed for surface mounting to flat steel, concrete, or structural surfaces. All mounting hardware should be selected based on the substrate and fixture load requirements.

Where This Product Fits Best

This surface mount slip fitter is intended for environments where a single area or post top fixture needs to be mounted to a flat surface or pole top. It is suitable for commercial exterior lighting projects, parking lots, and roadway lighting where a standard 2 3/8 inch tenon interface is required.

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

The powder coated steel construction is suitable for most outdoor environments. Not intended for marine, corrosive, or hazardous locations without additional protection.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires secure attachment to a flat surface using appropriate anchors or bolts for the substrate. The 2 3/8 inch tenon accepts compatible fixtures with slip fitter mounts. All hardware should be tightened to manufacturer torque specifications to prevent loosening over time.

Periodic inspection is recommended to check for corrosion, hardware loosening, or surface degradation. The accessory is designed for permanent installation and does not require routine adjustment. Replacement may be necessary if exposed to impact or severe environmental conditions.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This slip fitter is typically installed at mounting heights ranging from 10 to 30 feet, depending on the fixture and application. Common layouts include single fixture mounting on building facades, pole tops, or concrete pads for area and parking lot lighting.

Spacing and layout are determined by the fixture?s light distribution and site requirements. Using higher wattage fixtures may reduce the number of mounts needed but can increase wind load and require more robust anchoring.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This accessory does not carry electrical ratings or third-party certifications. All installations should comply with local building codes and structural requirements for exterior lighting mounts.

The product includes a 1 year warranty covering material and manufacturing defects. No additional safety features are integrated into the accessory.
