3 Star Inc
Made in the USA!
This 5 Foot (57") by 1.66" OD 18 AWG swaged end Antenna Mast tube is galvanized for weather and used to extend any 1.66 inch 18 gauge antenna masts by fitting the swaged end of this mast into the open end of the other mast tube of the same diameter and gauge, thereby extending the existing mast an additional 5 feet to fit a Variety of Mounts for Flexibility In Antenna Mounting and Height Clearance.
Ideal as a DISH500 and DIRECTV Dish Antenna Mast (will NOT work for DIRECTVs SL3/5) There's a Big difference between 18 AWG and 16 AWG when it comes to joining Swaged to Straight Antenna Masts. 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 1/3 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.
