Poles - Product Family Ruud Lighting offers a complete line of steel and aluminum poles that provide outstanding strength and reliability. Crown-Weld® steel poles (PS Series) set the new standard for outstanding strength and reliability. These non-tapered poles are available in 3-, 4-, 5- or 6-inch square ranging from 10 through 30 feet in length. Specification Sheets · Catalog Pages Square Poles Marking a breakthrough in light-pole safety and endurance, the Crown-Weld is many times stronger than the traditional-design pole. It presents a dramatic improvement in pole fatigue resistance and yield strength. The Crown-Weld features a base with four formed triangular sections to which the pole shaft is welded on all four sides. When loading, such as the kind of pressure a strong gust of wind would exert, is applied to the pole at stresses above the endurance limit, the Crown-Weld proves vastly superior, with a 50 percent increase in EPA values. All RuudŽ poles come standard with our exclusive Colorfast DeltaGuardŽ bronze finish to complement fixtures and mounting brackets. Each pole is shipped complete with galvanized anchor bolts, Masonite mounting template, welded base with cover and a pole cap, except for the tenon mount. Pre-shipment of anchor bolts and mounting template is available. Our poles come with a 2-x-6-inch (51 x 152 mm) hand hole, located 18 inches above the bottom of the pole base. They also include a hand-hole cover and grounding lug. All Ruud Lighting poles meet or exceed National Electrical Code requirements. In the US, Ruud square poles are classified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. for electrical ground bonding. In Canada, they are CSA certified for electrical ground bonding and structural strength. Round Tapered Poles Round Tapered Poles combine their graceful, distinctive appearance with quality construction. They are available in lengths of 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 feet. Fixture mounting is accomplished by attaching the fixture, via the Round External Mount Vertical or Horizontal Tenon (PB/PT Series), to a 2-inch schedule 80 pipe that is peripherally welded to the top of the shaft. The shaft, of hot-rolled, commercial-quality ASTM A595 Grade A 11-gauge steel, has a minimum yield strength of 55,000 psi. Shaft taper is a uniform 0.140 inch per foot. The one-piece construction features a full-length, longitudinal, high-frequency resistance weld. The base plate, made of carbon steel with 36,000-psi minimum yield strength, telescopes the shaft and is welded top and bottom. Round Tapered Poles come standard with a bronze polyester powder finish that carries a one-year warranty. Each pole is shipped complete, with galvanized anchor bolts, Masonite mounting template and base cover. The two-piece steel base cover is held together by two high-strength fasteners. The poles come with a reinforced hand hole that is welded to the shaft. The steel hand-hole cover is attached with two high-strength fasteners. The grounding lug meets UL and NEC requirements for electrical ground bonding. All Ruud Lighting poles meet or exceed NEC requirements.
