Viking Black Gooseneck Pedestal with In-Ground Mounting - VE-GNP-IG

Viking Electronics VE-GNP-IG In-Ground Gooseneck Pedestal

Overview

The VE-GNP-IG is a 64-inch cold rolled steel gooseneck pedestal designed for in-ground wet cement installation, delivering a 42-inch finished height above grade once set. Weighing 22.1 lbs (10.1 kg), it is built for permanent outdoor deployments where a pad-mount or surface approach is not viable — parking lots, campus entry points, and paved areas where the footing needs to be embedded directly in concrete. The UV-stable black fine texture powder paint resists weathering without fading or chalking over time, avoiding the touch-up cycles common with standard painted finishes. This is the correct choice when you need a Viking VE-Series intercom or call station at accessible height and the installation site will not support a surface-mounted base.

Compatibility

Designed for the Viking Electronics VE-Series product line. Compatible Viking surface-mount pedestal alternatives in the same family include the VE-GNP (pad mount, dual 42"/72" height) and VE-GNP-SS (stainless steel pad mount, 42" tall). The VE-GNP-IG is the in-ground variant specifically — if your installation surface allows anchor-bolt pad mounting, the VE-GNP covers the same 42" finished height without requiring wet cement work. Consult the VE-Series product manual for device mounting dimensions and cable routing details before ordering; the manual covers all pedestal variants and intercom head compatibility across pages 2–7.

Installation Notes

Installation requires setting the pedestal in wet cement — this is not a bolt-down or surface-anchor mount. Plan conduit routing before the pour; backfill and cure schedules will dictate your installation sequence. The 64" overall height accounts for burial depth, so finished above-grade height lands at the standard 42" ADA-accessible range. Review the VE-Series product manual for specific burial depth, conduit entry locations, and cable management details prior to rough-in. Material is cold rolled steel — not stainless — so confirm the application does not expose the buried section to sustained groundwater or chemically aggressive soil without appropriate protective measures.
