CALL BEFORE YOU DIG
No matter where you do business, the gas, electric, cable TV, water, and sewer lines that serve you may very likely be underground. If you are planning a project that involves digging, state laws require you to notify your utility company at least three working days in advance. Most will come to your premise at no charge to mark the buried utilities on your property, so they won’t be cut or damaged by you or your contractors. It’s one phone call that can save time, money — and your life!
POUR CONCRETE PYLON
- Measure and mark a 12″-18″ diameter Sontube concrete form at the desired length. Length will vary depending on the height of the lamp post and local recommendations. 24″ to 48″ burial depths are common for most conditions. Cut the form at the mark.
- Stand the concrete form at the location of the lamp post. Mark the outside edge of the form and set the form aside. NOTE: The form can protrude above ground 2″-4″ to provide protection for the finished lamp post from ground moisture and yard equipment.
- Dig the hole accordingly to fit form vertically to the desired depth. If running electrical conduit through concrete base, place conduit in appropriate direction and place concrete form into the hole. Level the concrete form.
- Prior to mixing concrete, prepare j-bolt concrete anchors by attaching to the bolt template (provided). Place the template with attached bolts in a convenient place near the concrete form. Backfill the outside of form as necessary, checking the top of the form with 2’ level. Tamp the soil to secure form.
- Pour dry concrete mix to the desired depth into concrete form. Add water and mix with an electric drill and mixing paddle. Mix to desired consistency through to the bottom of the form.
- Firmly press the j-bolt/template assembly into the center of the liquid concrete to the desired orientation so that all threads are exposed above the concrete surface.
- Allow 48 hours for the concrete to cure prior to attaching the lamp post.
ATTACH LAMP POST
- NOTE: Contract a certified electrician to pull wiring prior to attaching the lamp post.
- Remove (1) nut and (1) washer from each j-bolt. The remaining nut should be fully threaded onto each j-bolt with one washer remaining on top. Slide post and bolt base onto j-bolts being sure to orient the electrical door in the desired direction.
- Place the second washer and loosely add nut to each exposed j-bolt.
- Place a 2′ level on each side of post and turn bottom nut until the post is positioned properly. Tighten the top nut completely to secure attachment.
COMPLETE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
- Complete wiring process by removing the electrical door and pulling wiring to top of post.
- Easily remove and reattach lamp head for wiring purposes by loosening set screws.
ADD POST CONNECTION
To complete installation, attach 2-piece pole base. Once attached, the base will seat onto a concrete pylon and cover the electrical door and bolt base.
