Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel Pipe
Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel Pipe meets a variety of communication tower needs such as Cellular, PCS, Wireless Cable, Microwave, Wireless Internet, WiFi Hot Spots, DBS, MDS, MMDS and UHF/VHF reception. Galvanization provides a protective zinc coating that prevents rust and corrosion from water or moisture over time.
Selecting Antenna Mast Pipe
Selecting the proper antenna mast pipe is crucial. Depending on the size of your antenna, it's EPA, weight and height all play a factor in selecting a supportive pole. When planning, it's best to have all the information you can get like outside diameter of your attaching method, the clearance of gutters, siding or other obstacles in the path of your erecting a mast or tower.
Here you will find standard straight pipe in 5' foot and 10' foot lengths. You can also find those same pipes with a special end called a swage. A swaged ended pipe allows you to sleeve another of the exact same Composition, ID, OD and Gauge. ROHN Swaged Masts are Designed for stacking with a Notch and Swage Feature that prevents twisting of one mast section to the other without a set screw.(see images below)
