This 5 Foot (60") by 1.25" OD 16 AWG swaged end Antenna Mast tube is galvanized for weather and used to extend any 1-1/4 inch 16 gauge antenna masts by fitting the swaged end of this mast into the open end of the another mast tube of the same diameter and gauge, thereby extending the existing mast an additional 5 feet. Fits a Variety of Mounts for Flexibility In Antenna Mounting and Height Clearance.
Manufacturers recommend that masts heights of 10 feet and higher be guyed for Addition Wind Load Support.
This Diameter Antenna Mast is Standard not only for TV and Radio reception, but Cellular Phone and Date Gateway repeaters, WISP, Wireless Internet, Telemetry and more.
(Mount Not Included)
There's a Big difference between 18 AWG and 16 AWG when it comes to joining Swaged to straight antenna mast. You cannot mix and match 16 and 18 gauge masts so please, verify the mast you have before purchasing a complimenting swaged section. Be Sure and afford yourself 2 feet minimum, up to 1/4 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.
There's a Big difference between 18 AWG and 16 AWG when it comes to Antenna Masts. This 16 AWG Mast is thicker, hardier, stronger and weighs more with heavier Pre-Galvanization. The swaged end fits tightly into another mast when it's 16 AWG like this one (I can't pull them apart, bolt them together for a permanent joint). When considering the longevity of your HDTV Off-Air TV Antenna, there's no substitute for the strength of this mast in effectively transfering the Wind Load from the Antenna to the Mount in preventing the mast from Folding over. The 18 AWG painted masts just don't hold up. 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. This is one reason we no longer offer the 18 AWG masts such as the Channel Master CM-1805 or Cm-1810.
The SSV self-supporting tower sections use angle steel cross bracing with lighter upper sections using a Zig-Zag brace pattern. The SSV tower sections can be combined with “K” braced SSMW self-supporting tower sections for added height and strength when needed.
Time tested strength and design, the ROHN SSV series of self-supporting towers provide an excellent strength to cost ratio proven by years of use. In production for nearly years in our tower design and tower manufacturing facilities, the SSV tower has evolved into a highly efficient and wide ranging system of custom towers produced from pre-engineered sections. The ROHN SSV tower is the quality standard in the industry for small to mid range self-supporting towers.
ROHN SSV towers are in use world-wide for:
ROHN SSV towers are available with a wide variety of pre-designed accessories including:
