Allows tall masts to be swung up along the ridge of the roof. The Bottom of Mast Inserts into the Hinged Base for Masts up to 2-3/8 inches in Diameter, secured by 2 Sets of Double Nut Set Screws. Bonding should be made by affixment to Mast. Consult NEC and Applicable Local Code for further guidance.
We are so Happy to have This Universal Peak Ridge and Flat Roof Mount for Telescopic Push-up Antenna Masts for masts up to 2-5/8" Diameter (which is every Brand and Model we can think of) Of all the Models we've evaluated to date, this one is the Best. It starts with a 16 gauge shaped, rolled, seamed Tube stock that has a recessed channel for the inside set of retaining set screw nuts. All of the Hardware is Galvanized and is of a Heavy Duty Nature. The Hinges are also 16 gauge and Hardy Stuff. Matter of Fact, this Mount will be Harder than most Masts, you will probably want to procure a 6 inch section of Black Iron Pipe to place on the inside of the bottom section of the antenna Mast to keep it from Collapsing, as the Double Nut Set Screws do not give. The Bottom Main Assembly Bolt also doubles as the 3rd Hinge which facilitates swinging the Mast up or down from Vertical for Erection and Maintenance. As with all Masts, Guy wire support and Grounding are Critical to Antenna Survival.
It is Important to choose a Mount and Mounting Location with a Picture of the Finished Installation in Mind. Be Sure to First select a location that lends itself to applying a Load without Compromising the Integrity of the Material you affix to. Most Decorative Finishes most often do not have the Strength to Hold a Weight or Pressure without fail. Further, Think about what's underneath the exterior. Is it stronger, or will it yield to Pressure over time also? Weather Proof the Installation to Maintain the Integrity of your Home. Next consider the Location over a Lifetime of Adjustments, does it lend itself to modifications in Height or Direction? Larger Antennas increase the surface area presented to air movement, Hence, Wind-load does increase. As the length of the mast increases from Its last attached point on the structure, the torque applied in cantilever also increases with Weight and Wind-Load, requiring a more substantive attachment and Load-Bearing material. Keep the Distance Minimal from the Antenna to the TV's and Equipment you feed, as to minimize loss and the need for Amplification.
