Tapco 1603-00008 Galvanized Traffic Sign Post Base 3 Ft

Product Description

The TAPCO 1603-00008 is a galvanized steel pedestal base designed for traffic sign posts in roadway, parking lot, and workzone applications. Standing 36 inches tall with a 2.25 x 2.25 inch cross-section, this base provides a stable, ground-level mounting solution for standard sign post installations. The hot-dip galvanized coating delivers corrosion resistance suited to outdoor use in wet or high-traffic environments. The 7/16-inch hole diameter accommodates compatible post hardware. Sign technicians and traffic safety crews install this base as part of a complete pedestal sign post assembly.

This base is intended for use in surface-mount sign post setups where a permanent in-ground installation is not required or permitted. Typical applications include parking facilities, construction zones, street signage, and temporary or semi-permanent traffic control layouts. The galvanized steel construction holds up to outdoor exposure without additional treatment. It ships individually and is suited for both new installations and replacement of worn or damaged pedestal bases in existing sign post systems.
