Conslruclion A shaft of round extruded aluminum tubing, al oy 6063-T5
flares into a one-piece castaluminum base with integral mount ng lugs The
shaft s welded to the cast base and then ground and polished, caus ng the
entire assembly to appear as a one-p ece sculptured form. A hand hole s
furnished, enclosed by a flush mounted cover that blends inconsp cuously w th
the base coniou r.
Tenon-Pole Fitter (For tenon poles only) For reasons of appearance, a cast
alu mln um tenon can be furnished using an internal expansion wedge gr p and
secured by a single center bolt. There shall be no visib e tenon mount
hardware.
Ballasl Mounted in pole. h gh power factor for 20'F. starting. Ballast shall
be securely fastened to the tenon-pole fitter, and shall be equlpped w th anti-
v brat on snubbers to prevenl contact wlth the pole nner wail.
Grounding-One No. 10 pressure ug in base.
Finish The entire pole is satln polished and then f nished with a baked-on
melamine rnodified acrylic enarnel, applied over mil spec 15328 ac d wash
pr rner. Natura alu m inu m and anod zed finishes are not avaiLable on th s pole.

anchor bolts and a rjg d pressed board temp ate. Bolts shall have rolled
threads and each shall be provided w th one (1) nut, one (1) washer and a z nc
electro-p ated evel nq shim.
Strenqth Factor The pole strength factor must be equalto or greater than the
in;rre strenqth factor. L sted pole strength factors are for 85 IVIPH steady
lu m
wlnds or 1 10 N.4 PH g usting win ds. For conversion factors to other wind
