ROHN
Made in the USA!
This 5 Foot (60") by 1.25" OD 16 AWG Medium to Heavy Duty Antenna Mast tube is Hot Dip Galvanized (HDG) for Extreme Weather Resistance and adds a layer of zinc in the process which may make fitment difficult with other pre-galvanized (Non-HDG) Swaged-end Masts. If you are Looking to increase height by multiples of 5 foot using HDG 16 AWG masts, we recommend that you use the ROHN 5-16S Swaged-end HDG Masts solely, which are notched on the receiving end in addition to being swaged on the other for stacked fitment with another swaged section.
Be Sure and afford yourself 2 feet minimum, up to 1/3 of the overall mast length between the two wall mounts you would utilize in your TV antenna Installation. The Torque applied from wind load through cantilever to these mounts can be significant. Manufacturers recommend that mast heights of 10 feet and higher be guyed.
(Mount Not Included)
Selecting the proper antenna mast pipe is crucial. Depending on the size of your antenna, it's EPA, weight and height all play a factor in selecting a supportive pole. When planning, it's best to have all the information you can get like outside diameter of your attaching method, the clearance of gutters, siding or other obstacles in the path of your erecting a mast or tower.
Here you will find standard straight pipe in 5' foot and 10' foot lengths. You can also find those same pipes with a special end called a swag. A swaged ended pipe allows you to attach several lengths of pipe together.

When selecting a pipe you will need to know the length, OD (outside diameter), whether the AWG is 16 or 18 (the smaller the number the thicker the steel) and whether you'll need any swaged ended pieces. You'll then need to select the proper mounting such as wall, roof or maybe a tripod.
