The Flagpole Ball is the most popular flagpole ornament, sitting elegantly atop the flag and pole as a finishing touch to any aluminum flagpole. Balls are available in various finishes and designs, allowing for customization. Butt diameters range from 3" to 24", with the recommended ball diameter matching the butt diameter of the flagpole. Standard thread sizes include 1/2"-13NC, 5/8"-11NC, and 3/4"-10NC.
Designed with durability in mind, this ball assembly addresses the common issues of premature flagpole ball failures caused by natural pole vibration, which often lead to replacement costs.
Key Features:
- A thick-walled aluminum tube serves as an inner spacer, strengthening the assembly and ensuring proper compression between the ball spheres.
- Thick spherical halves are spun with an extra-wide lip at the joint, reducing the upper sphere’s tendency to slip over the bottom half.
- A stainless steel bolt and high-strength adhesive compound secure the spacer rod at the ball tip, eliminating issues with rivets or internally mounted nuts.
- A plated steel jamb nut ensures the ball's secure attachment to the truck assembly for a permanent, reliable fit.
- For 4" to 8" balls, the stem is machined from 3/4" diameter 6063 aluminum and secured with a stainless steel threaded rod and high-strength adhesive compound, providing enhanced durability.
- For 10" to 12" balls, a 5/8" solid stainless steel threaded rod is used for maximum strength on larger applications.
- Heavy-duty aluminum balls are available in sizes ranging from 4" to 24", with finish options including Gold Anodized, Clear Anodized, Powder Coated, and Satin.
