FORTISVEX 14 Pounds Internal Halyard Flagpole Counterweight 14 Inches Bronze 360321

14 Pound Flagpole Counterweight, 14 Inches, Bronze

The heaviest size, built for tall commercial flagpoles and the larger flags they carry. Two eyebolts on this one are doing real work — a halyard run this long, on a flag this size, needs the extra mass to stay taut in real wind.

What a flagpole counterweight does

On an internal halyard flagpole, the rope or cable that raises and lowers the flag runs down inside the pole itself, out of sight. A counterweight hangs on the bottom of that halyard loop and keeps it under constant tension. Without one, the halyard goes slack, slaps against the inside of the pole in the wind, and tangles at the cleat. With the right weight attached, the line stays taut, the flag lowers smoothly, and the flag itself hangs and flies properly instead of wrapping around the pole.

Will this size fit my flagpole?

This 14 Pound size is built for flagpoles in the 60 to 80 Feet range. Going lighter than your pole calls for leaves the halyard loose; going heavier is rarely a problem and can help in a consistently windy location. If you fly more than one flag, or fly an oversized flag for your pole height, the next size up is worth considering.

Choosing Bronze

Bronze #313 is the standard match for an anodized pole rather than a raw aluminum one — churches, government buildings and HOA-restricted properties tend to specify a bronze or black finish flagpole, and this weight is coated to match it rather than clash against it at the base.

Fabricated from solid 2 Inch diameter steel and coated in a plastisol finish to resist scratching, chipping and weather, meant to pair with a bronze or black anodized flagpole, matching the darker metal finishes.
