Construction

Shaft: L1 laminate grade West Coast Douglas Fir for strength and appearance. Construction grade on all exposed wide faces per WCLIB Grading Rules. Lamination utilizes adhesives meeting or exceeding the exterior durability performance requirements of most recent revision of U.S. Commercial Standard ANSI/AITC A190.1-1983. A raceway access hole for underground wiring is centered 2'6" below ground line and rises 30° to vertical. If required, above ground junction boxes of various types can be used. Available shaft widths are 4, 5, 6 and 7 inches.

Surface finish, appearance and tolerance: Laminations are kiln dried to average moisture content of 14.5% +/- 2.5% before surfacing. Open defects such as knot holes exceeding 1/2" in diameter or wane exceeding 1/4" x 12" are filled with wood filler. Sides are surfaced four faces with edges eased to 3/8" radius. Tolerances are from +0 to -1/8" for width and thickness and +/- 1/4" in length.

Preservative treatment: Standards are treated with 6% pentachlorophenol borne in light hydrocarbon solvent in conformance with AWPA Standards to a minimum net retention of 0.60 pounds per cubic foot of penta. All Standards are incised on all four sides to 3/4" in depth from butt to 12" above indicated ground mark.

Wrapping: Lighting standards are individually wrapped using 2-ply laminated paper lumber wrap with waterproof ply on outside to protect poles.

Top cap: Metal top cap is provided unless fixture is tenon mounted.

Finish: Natural finish for standard wood poles. Untreated cedar and stain finishes available. Consult factory.
