The CL-RSADB Round Straight Aluminum Direct Burial Pole is engineered for superior structural performance in commercial, municipal, hospitality, and coastal lighting applications. Manufactured from seamless extruded 6063 Aluminum Alloy tubing in compliance with ASTM B221 standards, this direct burial light pole delivers strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability without the need for a base plate.
Designed specifically for in-ground installation, CL-RSADB poles provide enhanced stability through anti-rotational embed detailing. Poles over 6” diameter feature a partially flattened oval cross section at the base to reduce rotation once installed. Wire access is conveniently provided 24” below ground line for simplified electrical connections.
Each pole includes a welded internal ground lug, reinforced 3” x 5” hand hole, cast aluminum hand hole cover with internal bridge support, and removable aluminum pole cap (for side-mount configurations). All units are sandblasted prior to finishing and powder coated to a minimum of 3 mil thickness, baked at 400°F for maximum weather protection.
Backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, the CL-RSADB is ideal for projects requiring a clean, direct burial lighting solution with high wind-load capability.
