Metal-Pipe Pole Bases
H42000 Type

Cast Iron - Hot Dipped Galvanized

Lighting poles easily fabricated by combining threaded pole bases with coupled lengths of conduit or pressure pipe. Limitless variety of custom-made uprights can be erected below usual costs. Adapted to small or large quantities. Attractive design of tough cast iron; hub tapped deep for strong, locking engagement with pipe; ample junction chamber for stubbing conduit, splicing and grounding. Lighting applications:
Parking areas, service stations, car-lots, railway platforms, yards and docks, piers, walkways.

Other applications:
Mounting for signs, signals, police and fire boxes, yard-speakers, electrical enclosures.

Many lighting installations will be at relatively low elevations of 8, 10, or 12 feet, for fixtures of the post-top variety, of 1 .0 square feet or less. Here, 2" galvanized conduit with HOPE Base H42200-2" can safely be recommended for fixture elevations up to 12 feet in the EAST COAST, or 14 feet INLAND to WEST. For higher elevations where coupled lengths of conduit will be required, the critical pipe and base size will be that for the lowest section of the pipe where loading is greatest. The upper pipe column can be smaller sized conduit as loading is less. A typical Problem and Solution is given below the table.

1) a few local spots in the Gulf area have had
maximum winds greater than those of the East Coast. For these, Key West, Mississippi delta, Galveston to Brownsville, use East Coast elevations decreased by 20%.

PROBLEM: An East Coast installation will require a 2 square foot fixture elevated to 18 feet. What size of Base, lower section pipe, and upper section pipe can be specified.
Solution: Checking down the fixture size column, we find that the smallest conduit to handle 2 square feet at 18 feet is the 3" (allowable to 19’). This means that the lower pipe section must be 3" conduit, with an H42300-3" size Base, and a standard length of 3" is ten feet. For the remaining upper 8 feet, 2" conduit will handle this safely, so the overall pole will consist of H42300-3" HOPE Base, ten feet of 3" conduit, 3" x 2" reducing coupling, and 8 feet of 2" conduit.
