Nova Pole NSRA516MD 5" Straight Round Aluminum Pole

Create a Versatile Outdoor Lighting Base with the Nova Pole Straight Aluminum Pole

The NSRA516MD from Nova Pole is a 5 inch straight round aluminum pole designed to support outdoor area lights and festoon lighting installations. It is suitable for municipal, commercial, and decorative lighting projects. Key features include a lightweight aluminum shaft and an adjustable festoon box mounting height.

Key Features and Benefits of This Aluminum Light Pole

The straight round design accepts standard fixture and arm mountings, which matters because it simplifies matching with common outdoor luminaires. Included nut covers, shims, and a top plastic cap protect hardware from the elements, reducing long term corrosion and maintenance on outdoor installations.

Where to Use the NSRA516MD Aluminum Pole

This pole suits parking lots, plazas, and festoon lighting setups where a straight vertical profile is preferred over a tapered design. It works with standard concrete base installations rated for a specific fixture and arm EPA (Effective Projected Area). It is not designed for indoor or temporary lighting use.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

The NSRA516MD mounts on a standard concrete base, with a hand hole positioned 12 inches to center for wiring access. Installers should confirm the pole's wind speed and EPA rating match the intended fixture and arm load before installation, and have a qualified electrician complete connections.

Additional Buying Context

Like other Nova Pole products, the NSRA516MD is engineered to AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) structural standards, which gives contractors a documented basis for public and commercial specification. The adjustable festoon box height also makes it a practical choice for seasonal patio or string lighting projects.
