Integra offers many enclosure mounting accessories for our polycarbonate outdoor electrical enclosures including multiple styles of pole mounting kits. Pole mounts can be used in a wide range of applications both indoor and outdoor. Whether you’re attaching a controls box to a pillar inside a factory or to a telecommunications pole on the side of a roadway, pole mount kits provide an easy installation option for any enclosure.
When selecting a pole mount kit, you’ll just need to know the size of the enclosure and the diameter of the pole. Integra offers easy-to-assemble pole mount kits for all our enclosure sizes and a wide range of pole sizes. Each kit is made from quality, corrosion – resistant materials to handle the rigors of outdoor, indoor or even underground environments.
When to Use a Pole Mount Kit on Your Electrical Enclosure
Pole mount kits are essential when attaching your enclosure to a metal pole, fence post or support beam. Aside from the obvious applications, pole mounting your electrical enclosure can also be a good idea when additional support is needed. Depending on the size of the enclosure and the width of the post, it may be possible to attach the enclosure directly to the post using the mounting feet or flange. However, if not secured properly, the weight of the enclosure can put stress on the mounting screws, causing it to sag or loosen over time. Pole mount kits work to evenly distribute the weight of the enclosure around the entire circumference of the post. This provides a more reliable hold, even after years in high-wind or corrosive environments.
In addition to easy installation and added support, pole mount kits provide a quick way to detach your enclosure when needed. Instead of unscrewing all four mounting feet, simply loosen the bolt at the back of the pole mount to remove the entire assembly from the pole. The ease of use when installing and removing a pole mounted electrical enclosure is a huge benefit over traditionally mounted enclosures.
Pole mount kits provide many benefits for a wide range of applications including telecommunications, construction and remote monitoring. Each of these applications require an enclosure assembly that is easy to install in the field and sturdy enough to handle high wind, heavy rain and accidental impacts. Integra Enclosures meets this requirement by designing all our enclosure products and accessories with the end user in mind by using quality, corrosion resistant materials and simple components.
Integra Enclosures Pole Mount Kits
Integra offers both standard size and universal pole mount kits to fit most any application. Integra understands the need for a perfect – fit mounting solution, which is why we offer multiple pole mounting kit options for each of our polycarbonate electrical enclosures. In addition, Integra pole mount kits are made of corrosion-resistant materials like galvanized steel and zinc-plated steel to stand the test of time even in harsh outdoor environments.
Standard Pole Mounting Kits
Integra’s standard pole mounting kits are made to fit the most common pole diameters from 2 inch to 12 inch. Available for every size of enclosure throughout our Premium, Impact and Genesis product lines, they utilize DIN rails to easily and securely attach the pole mount to the back of the enclosure.
For 2, 3, or 4 inch diameter poles, Integra’s pole mount kits feature metal brackets. These brackets slide easily into the groove of the DIN rail and are bolted together for a secure fit. For poles that fall in between these standard 2, 3, or 4 inch sizes, Integra recommends sizing down. The length of the bracket bolt allows for some additional room and can be tightened down to provide a secure hold even if the brackets do not touch.
For larger poles, enclosure mounting kits include metal band clamps that can be used for poles between 10 and 12 inches in diameter. These bands are adjustable and can also be tightened down to securely fit both odd sized and square poles.
Universal Pole Mounting Kits
A tight, secure fit is paramount to the usability and reliability of a pole mount kit. The ability to tightly and precisely attach the enclosure to a pole allows for fast and simple installation and reduces the possibility of failure and future repairs. This is why Integra Enclosures created multiple options of pole mounting kits for all our enclosure sizes. If you’d like help finding the right pole mounting kit for your polycarbonate enclosure, contact us.
If you are unsure what size pole your enclosure will be mounted to, choose one of Integra’s Universal Pole Mount Kits. Universal kits allow you to securely mount your electrical enclosure to a much wider range of poles including oddly sized poles. These kits feature multiple options and adjustable components out of the box so that you can customize your mounting configuration to fit your exact needs. Just like the standard size kits, Integra’s universal pole mount kits utilize quality components made of corrosion-resistant materials that last. A light-duty universal pole mount kit is also offered for our smaller Impact® enclosures.
Heavy duty Universal Pole Mount Kits include three sizes of brackets or band clamps to fit a wide range of pole diameters. When purchasing a universal kit, you’ll just need to know the approximate size of the pole – small or large. Integra’s quality enclosure mounting accessories are easy to assemble or change out in the field so you can ensure the proper fit for your application.
