Construction
Jerol meter box poles are made from fibreglass reinforced polyester and covered by a solid 3mm shell of polyethylene. This protects from weather and UV-damage and results in an odourless and non-greasy product.
This combination of materials has a high resistance to chemicals, moisture, vermin and pests, as well as physical impact. Poles are fitted with a cap to prevent water and moisture from entering.
Length, Weight and Diameter

The poles are available in two diameters, 168mm and 216mm. The 216mm pole can also be used for the suspension of transformers.
Installation
Poles can be installed without the need for a foundation.
Mounting the Meter Box
The meter box is attached with screws into predrilled screw holes. Alternatively, self-drilling screws with a course thread can also be used. A transformer bracket is installed using fully threaded hex head screws or a pin bolt.
Predrilling should be performed with the appropriate drill, and pin bolts should not be used without a distance sleeve.

Storage and Handling
There are no special requirements when storing Jerol products as they are completely non-toxic. Dismantled poles can be reused, and smaller sections work well as cable protection. Damaged sections can be recycled or responsibly disposed of in landfill.
Occupational Health & Safety
Our products are non-toxic, and general safety precautions must be followed. See also the material safety data sheet (MSDS).
Transport
Poles can be transported alongside other goods, and there are no special requirements for storage.
Environmental Impact
Our products are non-toxic, non-greasy, and do not leach chemicals. This makes them the perfect choice for installation in environmentally sensitive areas.
Lifespan
Our poles have a calculated lifespan of more than 80 years, this is based on 50 years practical experience of composite poles in corresponding climates.
Reference Project
Meter boxes are often placed near buildings, where it is particularly important to have non-toxic and non-greasy poles. See more in our Reference Project.
