The ATG Airports 8-inch shallow base mounting unit is made from durable cast aluminum and designed for efficient cable management during airfield lighting installations.

Key features:

Comes with a bottom hole for standard cable entry. Alternatively, it can be sealed and fitted with one or two glanded cable entry points for flexible connection options to the light fixture.

Finished with a two-pack acrylic enamel paint system. This high-performance coating combines acrylic melamine paint with a hardener resin, forming a tough, water-resistant seal that prevents porosity and ingress.

Built for reliability in demanding environments, this shallow base ensures long-term performance and protection for your airfield lighting infrastructure.

Product Information

The shallow base is designed for installing in situ using epoxy-resin secured in a core that has been drilled in the pavement or into a precast concrete block. 

With the dry base option, a gasket (separately supplied) must be placed between the base and fixture for water tightness. 

All hardware for fixing, screw and washer, are in stainless steel. On request, customised versions are available.

With this type of shallow base installation, the isolating transformer used to power the fixture, along with the primary circuit connectors, is typically located in a pit at the edge of the runway or taxiway.

The light is powered by means of a secondary cable being installed from the pit to the light base.

Regulation Compliance

There is currently no regulation specifically covering the requirements for these types of shallow bases. However, the base cans are designed in compliance with the mechanical and environmental requirements of IEC 61827 and the FAA AC 150/5345-42 specifications.

Environmental Conditions

  • Ambient Temperature -55 °C to +55°C (-67 °F to +131°F)
