Product Description
Overview
The Style B Spun Aluminum Flash Collar is our best-selling flash collar for shoe base flagpole installations, and for good reason. Each collar is precision-spun from high-grade aluminum to tight tolerances, then finished to hold up to years of outdoor exposure. It's the small detail that makes a flagpole installation look finished rather than unfinished — hiding the ground sleeve, hardware, and gap around the base of the pole.
The standard one-piece collar slides down over the pole before the flagpole is stepped into its base — ideal for new installations.
Inside diameter runs approximately 1/8" wider than the butt diameter of your flagpole, allowing it to sit cleanly around the base without binding.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flash collar used for?
A flash collar covers the gap and hardware where a flagpole enters its ground sleeve or base, giving the installation a clean, finished appearance and helping keep debris out of the sleeve.
What's the difference between the 1-piece and split 2-piece collar?
The 1-piece collar slides over the pole before it's installed, so it's meant for new flagpole installations. The split 2-piece collar opens around the pole, letting you add or replace a collar on a flagpole that's already standing, without pulling the pole out of its base.
How do I know what size collar I need?
Choose the collar size that matches your flagpoles base (butt) diameter. The collar's inside diameter is sized about 1/8" larger than that measurement for a proper fit.
How fast does this ship?
Orders placed by 2PM CST usually ship the same day. Anodized finishes may take longer if they're not currently in stock.
