6' or 8' dish on penetrating roof mount

[cracklincrotch]

Just measured the pipe. It's 2-7/8" OD and 2-3/8" ID. Guess that makes it 1/4" thick.

Guess it just looks smaller in the pic then. You'll love your BUD when you are done

Guess that means that I'm going to need the dish, actuator, v-box, and some actuator wire? Already have a BSC421 LNB.

- Ha, ha, ha! -
You're as bad as I am!
I've got the Ck-1 and B1stacked C-band LNBf's
. . . and now all -I- need is a dish, mover, vbox, and some wire, too! -

Maybe Santa will bring us some for Xmas! -


Oh, and I also have a big wooden telephone pole, but don't intend to mate the BUD with it! -

Can you imagine the offspring of that union?

From what I've found most C-Band mounts need either 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 O.D. size pipe, so the pipe you have most likely will not work.
Install it correctly the first time and save yourself a lot of headaches down the road.

I'll cross that road when I get to it. I don't even have a dish yet. If it takes a 3" mast, goody for me. Otherwise I'll be doing some other way.

5 of my 6 buds use a 3" pipe, And I ordered the pipe when I got the first one 4"! Fortunately, They have not cut it yet, so I do not have to pay for it.

Just FYI.
Dad's 7.5' uses a 3" OD pipe.

Just to clarify my previous posting on pipe size, I when out and checked the 7 scraped mounts I have and out of the seven here what I found....I was wrong on the 4 1/2, should have been 4", but the larger size may only apply to people with the Raydex dishes.

1 Winegard 10' dish mounts use 4" OD pipe
1 Zenith 8' dish mount use 4" OD pipe ( same mount as the Winegard )
1 use a 3" OD pipe
4 used 3 1/2 OD pipe

Now both my Raydex dish are using a 4 1/2 inch OD pipe because of the way they mount to the pipe, I could probably go up to a 6" pipe with them, only being limited to the bolts length.

In your case get the dish before getting buying any pipe due to the different mounts and there requirements
