3 Inch Round Pole Tenon Adapter | 2 3/8 Inch Tenon | Bronze

Product Overview

This 3 inch round pole tenon adapter provides a 2 3/8 inch tenon for mounting area lights, flood lights, or other fixtures to existing 3 inch round poles. The adapter is finished in bronze to match common pole and fixture finishes used in commercial and industrial exterior lighting installations.

The 2 3/8 inch tenon size is a standard dimension that fits a wide range of slip-fitter style fixtures. This adapter allows poles without an integrated tenon to accept fixtures that require tenon mounting.

Where This Product Fits Best

This adapter is intended for installations where an existing 3 inch round pole does not have a tenon, or where the original tenon size does not match the fixture being installed. Common applications include parking lot lighting, pathway lighting, and perimeter security lighting on commercial and industrial properties.

The bronze finish makes this adapter suitable for installations where color matching to bronze-finished fixtures or poles is required for visual consistency.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The adapter accepts 3 inch round poles and provides a 2 3/8 inch tenon output. Fixture compatibility depends on the slip-fitter or mounting arm accepting a 2 3/8 inch tenon diameter.

Before selecting this adapter, confirm the pole outer diameter measures 3 inches and the fixture slip-fitter is rated for a 2 3/8 inch tenon. Variations in pole wall thickness or fixture clamp range may affect fit.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The adapter installs over the top of a 3 inch round pole and provides the tenon for fixture attachment. Secure mounting depends on proper fit between the adapter and pole, and between the fixture slip-fitter and the tenon.

Once installed, the adapter requires no maintenance under normal conditions. The bronze finish is intended for exterior exposure. Over time, environmental conditions may affect finish appearance depending on site-specific factors.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities use this adapter when retrofitting existing poles with new fixtures or when replacing a fixture that requires a different tenon size than the pole provides. The 2 3/8 inch tenon is one of the most common sizes for area and flood light slip-fitters, so this adapter bridges poles and fixtures that would otherwise be incompatible.

Installers typically slide the adapter over the pole top, then mount the fixture slip-fitter onto the tenon and secure both connections. The bronze color is selected when the surrounding hardware is bronze or when project specifications call for a uniform finish.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This adapter is covered by a 1 year warranty.
