This Plate has a collar with a Set Screw that securely holds the Telescopic Mast Tube in place and can be in turn, cemented into the concrete Pad via the Pin provided. The word "Ground" as used in the description can be a bit of a misnomer; it does not provide a "Earth Ground" in and of itself, but rather is a junction component that rests on the ground or pad and should be Bonded to with a proper Earth Ground composed of a 5/8 inch by 8 foot Copper Clad Ground Rod as a minimum. Consult your Local Building Code and NEC for guidance to Properly Grounding your HD TV, WI-FI, Wireless Internet, Business Band, CB or Amateur Radio Antenna Installation.

Antenna Mast Ground Base Mounts
Ground Level Base Mounts for Antenna Mast Poles typically provide for a Plate style Platform upon which will rest Antenna Mast and/or Telescopic Mast Poles of varying Outside Diameters, designed to take the weight and downward pressure of Down Guy Wires, Antenna Weight, Wind Load and the Mast itself and distribute/transfer to the foundation, pad, or soil. Being at ground level, it is important to elevate the surface upon which the plate will rest in comparison to surrounding grade as not to pool water and acids that would promote rust. The Plates typically come with a separate Stake which will fixate the plate to keep it from drifting. The stake can be driven into a foundation of gravel or concrete (better) and if integrally attached, can be direct embed into the soil itself for temporary fixtures.
The economy grade plates simply have the stake coming up through a center hole (about an inch) and the hollow mast tube rests on the plate covering this stake. As the stake and the Mast Tube will be of differing diameters, there is some rotational play as the Down Guy Wires provide the only means of securement and fixation. Premium Grade Base Plates will have a integral steel tube collar with set screws which will fixate and secure the mast in addition to the force of the Down Guy Wires. The base plates can be used in bracketed installations of One piece Mast Tubes or Telescopic Antenna Masts however; Manufacturers recommend that masts that rise 10 feet or more above the last bracket or guy level, should be guyed at this level also to keep from folding over in the wind.
Antenna Mast Grounding Accessories
Herein you will find a limited offering of our Grounding and Lightning Protection parts including: Ground Wire, Clamps and Rods.
Ground Blocks and Proper Grounding are an Important, often overlooked, aspect of Your telescopic Antenna Mast Installation and Safety. Proper Grounding can also Reduce the Reception of Interfering RF Signals. Grounding of Masts, Antennas, Cable TV and other RF Distribution Systems are covered by the NEC. Grounding can be as simple as a 12 AWG Ground Wire connected a short distance away to a 8 foot 5/8" DIA Copper Ground Rod (not supplied) or Bonded to the Existing Power Ground by the Power Meter installed on the side of your Home or Office. However, most State and some Local codes will contain requirements that supersede that of the NEC. Please Refer to Your Local Building and Electrical Codes for Guidance.
