5 Inch Steel Square Pole Installation Kit with Base Cover | Bronze

Product Overview

This 5 Inch Steel Square Pole Installation Kit with Base Cover is designed for mounting 5-inch square steel light poles in exterior environments. The kit includes four 36-inch anchor bolts, M24 hardware, top and bottom positioning plates, a rain cover, and a bronze base cover. It is intended for use with 30-foot, 5-inch bronze square steel poles, supporting area and parking lot lighting installations where surface mounting is required.

The included rain cover and base cover provide protection at the pole base and help maintain a finished appearance. This kit is compatible with poles that ship with 2 3/8-inch tenons, and the 5 x 5 inch rain cover supports applications requiring arm mounting. Typical installations include commercial parking lots, roadway perimeters, and area lighting projects using steel poles.

Core Performance and Output

This installation kit is engineered to provide stable, secure mounting for 5-inch square steel poles up to 30 feet in height. The included anchor bolts and positioning plates are sized for structural integrity in standard parking lot and area lighting applications. The hardware supports the weight and wind load of typical pole-mounted fixtures within the pole?s EPA and weight limits.

The kit does not include electrical components or ratings. Structural performance is determined by the pole and foundation design. Excessive fixture weight or high EPA values may require engineering review to confirm suitability for site-specific wind loads.

Adjustability and Control Options

This kit provides fixed-position mounting for steel square poles. The top and bottom positioning plates ensure accurate bolt alignment during concrete foundation work. The rain cover and base cover are non-adjustable and fit standard 5-inch square pole bases.

No integrated control or adjustment features are included. Fixture aiming, orientation, and control are determined by the pole top accessory or fixture mounting hardware, not by this kit.

Longevity and Reliability

The steel hardware and bronze-finished base cover are designed for long-term exterior use. All components are suitable for typical outdoor environments encountered in parking lots and commercial sites. The kit is intended to provide a stable foundation for the life of the pole and fixture installation.

Corrosion resistance is provided by the finish and material selection. Routine inspection of anchor hardware and base covers is recommended as part of standard pole maintenance.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The kit includes four 36-inch threaded anchor bolts, eight M24 nuts, eight M24 washers, a 9.8 x 9.8 inch top positioning plate, an 11.54 x 11.54 inch bottom positioning plate, and a 10.9 x 10.9 x 5 inch bronze base cover. Total kit weight is 50 lbs. All components are sized for compatibility with 5-inch square steel poles and standard concrete foundations.

The bronze base cover provides a finished appearance and shields the anchor bolts at grade. The rain cover is designed for use with arm-mounted fixtures where a 5 x 5 inch pole top is required. No electrical or photometric components are included.

Where This Product Fits Best

This installation kit is intended for use in exterior environments where 5-inch square steel poles are specified for lighting support. It is most commonly used in commercial parking lots, roadway perimeters, and general area lighting projects that require surface-mounted steel poles.

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

All components are suitable for outdoor installation in standard commercial and industrial environments. The kit is not intended for use with non-steel poles or in marine, corrosive, or hazardous locations.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The kit is designed for new pole installations on concrete foundations. Anchor bolts and positioning plates are set in concrete to provide structural support. The base cover and rain cover are installed after pole erection to protect and finish the base area.

Routine inspection of anchor hardware and covers is recommended. The kit does not include electrical pass-throughs or grounding provisions; these must be addressed as part of the pole and fixture installation. Proper alignment of anchor bolts is critical for pole fit and long-term stability.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This installation kit is typically used for mounting 5-inch square steel poles at heights up to 30 feet in parking lots, area lighting, and roadway perimeter projects. Anchor bolt spacing and plate dimensions are matched to standard pole base patterns. Spacing between poles is determined by lighting layout and site requirements.

Fixture count and mounting height are set by the lighting design. Using higher poles can reduce the number of fixtures needed but may require larger foundations and increased attention to wind load calculations.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This installation kit does not carry electrical ratings or third-party certifications. All components are designed for structural support of steel poles in outdoor environments. The kit includes a 1-year warranty covering material and manufacturing defects.

Installation must follow local codes and engineering requirements for pole foundations and wind load. No additional safety features are integrated beyond standard hardware and covers.
