Antenna Mast Grounding & Weatherproofing ACCS

Tape and Sealant Products

Silicone Sealant is the go-to for most complex sealing spaces and can be used on connections and entryway passages, providing the Surface is none oily, clean and dry. Most all Silicone products provide an inherent UV ray protection to provide long life reliability.

Butyl Tape is a kind of adhesive tape with strong adhesive and excellent sealing effect. It adopts butyl rubber, poly isobutene as major raw materials blending, and then the surface attached to isolation paper, shape it in roll. It has good waterproof performance, so it is also known as butyl waterproof sealing adhesive tape. Single sided Mainly used in the seal of cable connectors.

PVC Insulating Tape is used to create an air-tight seal on connectors and is water, chemical and UV resistant.

Self-Amalgamating Tape is designed to be a stand-alone weatherproofing solution. AKA "Cold Shrink Tape", it has the ability to "weld" itself chemically and mechanically into a mass with no layers, to form a watertight skin. Cold Shrink Tape was developed in collaboration with international electrical engineers. Exceptional quality control procedures are strictly applied throughout the manufacturing process ensuring a tape that delivers high performance, reliability and flexibility for a wide variety of applications.
When applied under tension, Cold Shrink Tape provides a neat, void free, continuous wrapping, without the need for external heat or pressure. It can be easily applied by hand, contouring closely to irregular shapes or bends to form a permanent insulating layer or waterproofing barrier. In addition, when cut, Cold Shrink Tape can be removed cleanly, facilitating easy access and inspection of the protected area. Service life for Cold Shrink Tape is projected to be several years when exposed to out-of-door conditions, and equal to cable life in enclosed locations.

Grounding Accessories

Commensurate with Coaxial Cable TV Antenna and Satellite TV Splitter Installation, you want to Ground your Antenna Mast or HDTV Antenna Coaxial Cable System Outside before bringing the TV Cable Inside. This way, Lightning Strikes and Power Surges have an opportunity to arrest before reaching your Satellite Receiver and TV Set(s). The Integral Grounding Block designed onto most Outdoor Use Compatible Satellite Signal Splitter we sell will effectively convey this unwanted Electrical Energy to a Ground Rod via a Copper Ground Wire that you Install (not included).

From component parts to simple Ground Kits; we offer Various clamps to bond with and/or attach grounding wire to; the Antenna Mast, its appurtenances, coax and ground wire connections through and to either a ground rod, Box, Junction or Pipe, as well as common ground planes established by other Utilities. Ensuring that all metal used in your installation has a connection and pathway to ground assures no electrical isolation that could result in damage or injury,
Ground Blocks and Proper Grounding are an Important, often overlooked, aspect of Your Over-all Cable TV, HDTV or Satellite Antenna 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. You may notice that most new Cable TV, Satellite and TV Antenna Installations are effected in this Manner. 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.
