The snowplow blade resistant mounting base plate is embedded into the roadway to secure and protect In-Roadway Warning Lights (IRWL) signal heads.
The cased hardened steel base plate is coated with a corrosion resistant, marine grade steel primer. The steel base plate is 14” diameter
x 1½” depth.
The signal head is fastened to the base plate with stainless steel socket head ¼"-20 screws with thread locks, anti-seize compound applied to the threads in the factory. The cavity inside is designed to contain the electrical wiring for the signal head. The electrical conductors are embedded in the road bed via direct burial or through conduit.
The shallow depth of the in-pavement base plate ensures that the lower level road base is not penetrated. The base plate top sits flush with the road surface and the LED signal head module projects ½" above the road.
The steel base plate is designed for installation in asphalt or concrete roadbeds located in “snow country”. Two part epoxy compound permanently embeds the base plate into the roadway.
