PART 2 - PRODUCTS 2.1 A. B. C. GENERAL MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS

All materials shall be new, free from defects and shall be listed by, or bear the underwriters label where subject to such approval. All poles and standards shall be supplied with base covers and/or nut covers. Concrete bases and pedestals are not a portion of this specification. Refer to the Concrete sections of this specifications. 2.2 POLES AND STANDARDS - STEEL

A.

Lighting poles and standards shall be manufactured from steel having the following minimum yield strengths: 1. Pole Shaft: 55,000 psi 2. Base Plate: 36,000 psi 3. Anchor Bolts: 55,000 psi 4. Pipe Tenons: 35,000 psi Where lighting poles are specified with a prime or paint finish, the interior of the pole shall be completely finished with a rust-inhibiting finish. Where Galvanized finish is specified, poles shall be hot dipped in accordance with ASTM-A153. All anchor bolts and nuts shall be galvanized in accordance with ASTM-A153. Where poles are specified with a finish coat of paint, the finish coat shall be a minimum of 2 mils thick. Each pole shall be individually wrapped with a Kraft type paper prior to shipment to the job site. Where poles are vertically seamed and welded the weld shall be ground smooth so as not to be readily visible. Steel poles designed for direct burial shall be coated with a bituminous paint below the ground line. 2.3 POLES AND STANDARDS - ALUMINUM

B. C.

Where lighting poles are specified with a painted finish the pole shall be coated with zinc chromate primer or acid etched prior to painting. Where poles are specified with a finish coat of paint, the finish coat shall be a minimum of 2 mils thick. Each pole shall be individually wrapped with a Kraft type paper prior to shipment to the job site. Base plates, handhole covers and all welds shall be coated with zinc chromate primer prior to painting. Aluminum poles designed for direct burial shall be coated with a bituminous paint below the ground line. All anchor bolts and nuts shall be galvanized in accordance with ASTM-A153. 2.4 POLES AND STANDARDS - HIGHMAST

A.

Lighting poles and standards shall be manufactured from steel having the following minimum yield strengths: 1. Pole Shaft 65,000 psi 2. Base Plate 60,000 psi 3. Anchor Bolts 105,000 psi Where lighting poles are specified with a prime or paint finish, the interior of the pole shall be completely finished with a rust-inhibiting finish. Where galvanized finish is specified, poles shall be hot dipped in accordance with ASTM-A153. All anchor bolts and nuts shall be galvanized in accordance with ASTM-A153. Where poles are specified with a finish coat of paint, the finish coat shall be a minimum of 2 mils thick. Each pole shall be individually wrapped with a Kraft type paper prior to shipment to the job site. Where poles are vertically seamed and welded the weld shall be ground smooth so as not to be readily visible. Telescoping joints shall have a minimum overlap of one and one half times the diameter of the pole less 2 inches.

A.

The head frame structure shall be zinc coated steel, attached to the pole by means of a steel slipfitter and secured by four stainless steel setscrews. The headframe shall encompass six 6" nominal diameter steel cable sheaves. The headframe shall also include three latch barrels which support the luminaire ring assembly when the lowering device is not in operation. Latching shall be accomplished by alternate raising and lowering of the luminaire ring. All moving parts of the latching mechanism shall be attached to the luminaire ring assembly. The headframe shall be covered with an aluminum or fiberglass cover assembly. The power cord roller assembly shall consist of twelve rollers mounted between two CR steel plates. At either end of the plates, a keeper bar shall be provided over the power cord to keep the cord in its track during erection and normal operation. All electrical cords shall be attached to the weather tight wiring chamber with weather tight connections. A prewired 600 volt terminal block shall be provided in the wiring chamber. A weather tight twistlock power inlet shall be provided to allow testing of the luminaires in the lowered position. The hoisting cables shall be [zinc coated steel 7 x 19 aircraft cord of 3/16 diameter] [stainless steel 7 x 19 aircraft cord of 3/16 diameter]. The winch cable shall be [zinc coated steel 7 x 19 aircraft cord of 1/4 diameter] [stainless steel 7 x 19 aircraft cord of 1/4 diameter] with a minimum of four wraps on the drum after the device has been lowered. The winch shall have an ultimate strength of 5 times the lifted load. The winch shall have a 30:1 worm gear reduction ratio and have an integral drag brake to prevent free spooling of the cable. The winch shall have power operation and hand crank capability. The portable power unit shall be the heavy duty reversing type with a stalling torque twice that required to operate the device. There shall be a torque limiter with a shear pin designed to shear at 25% above the maximum torque setting. The power unit shall be supplied with an enclosed and encapsulated transformer to step down the voltage to 120 volts. All electrical connections shall be of the twistlock type. The motor shall be controlled by a reversing switch on a 20 foot remote cord. PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 GENERAL INSTALLATION

A. B. C.

Lighting poles and standards shall be installed per the manufacturers recommended mounting methods and the provisions of the drawings as noted. Where lighting poles are installed with anchor bolts, the area between the pedestal and the base plate shall be grouted and smoothed after the pole has been leveled. The design and specification of concrete anchor bases and pedestals is not a portion of this specification, drawings of anchor bases or pedestals are for conduit detail only. When poles are supplied with a finish coat of paint the supplier shall provide one pint of touch up paint with the poles.

E.

When the handhole in the base of the pole is not of sufficient size to allow the splicing of branch circuiting as indicated on the drawings in accordance with NEC fill requirements, then a weather-proof junction box shall be installed flush with finished grade adjacent to the pole. Extend only the conductors required for the adjacent pole from the junction box to the handhole in the pole base. The junction box shall be provided in accordance with the BOXES section of these specifications. END OF SECTION 265600
