Twin Mailbox Standard System # 7

When describing Imperial Mailbox Systems, one word comes to mind: variety. There are many options available from Imperial to consider for every aspect of your order. From finishes, number plaques, and support brackets all the way to the finials or optional light fixtures made to adorn the top of your post, Imperial allows for a variety of elegant mailbox configurations.

Every number or letter in the package SKU signifies the part included with your Imperial Mailbox package. You may opt to choose each piece individually or choose from one of our attractive pre-designed packages. Either way, we are here to help you find the perfect design for your project.

Selecting each individual part may require a little preparation, so please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the options. If you do choose to individually select each item in your package, here are a few helpful guidelines to consider when planning your design.

Selecting a Post

Let's begin with the various posts to consider. The post system contains a post and decorative bracket, with your choice of stylish base and finial. Every Imperial post is engineered using extruded aluminum for durability and offers a sturdy foundation for your new mailbox. The base and finial are engineered using the same cast-aluminum as the entire Imperial line.

The basic process for designing your post is as follows:

• Choose your base from the 7 available designs.
  • Bases are designated by numbers 1-8, corresponding to each style.
  • Base styles vary in height and size.
  • Bases 7 & 8 and finials 7 & 8 are only available on the "D" size post.
  • Choose from two posts diameters - C (2 …œ in.) or D (3 in.)
    • There are 3 support options with either post size
      • Option 1 has bottom bracket with address plaque bracket above box
      • Option 2 has bottom bracket only
      • Option 3 is a flat, top mount post
        • Choose a product with the "T" code before the post number to include a twin mount bracket, allowing the mounting of two boxes to a single post. Larger Estate boxes cannot be twin mounted.
        • Choose a product with the "M" code to mount up to (6) six boxes between two posts.
      • Newspaper holders can be used on twin applications, but not for multiple box configurations.
      • Some bases require the D diameter post, and others the C. Make sure the base and post you select are compatible with each other.
      • Lastly, choose from the various finial options to complete your look.
        • As with the base, finials are designated by SKU numbers 1-8.
        • The "H" option is used for the Horsehead finial, which is offered as a bonus option.
        • Finials 7 & 8 are only available with the "D" post diameters.
        • Using a light to cap your post requires the Lamp Post Transition piece instead of a finial. This is an important consideration when selecting your post configuration, but can be added as an option at a later date. (Note: a licensed electrician is recommended for installation of all light fixtures).
