Where to get an S-tube mount?

[elshout]

I have read about the S-tube mount for the Slimline 5 LNB dish. Where can you buy one? I have searched the Internet and can not locate any site that sells them.

Thanks

I have seen them on some sites and I am looking again, but what install application are you trying to solve?

Can you tell us where you read about the "S" mount?
What kind of installation do you want to use it for?

OK, I know this is from the UK, but is this the mast type you are trying to find? I would still like to know what your need is and maybe other more prevalent mounts would work too.

S Tube mount

In the Slimline installation manual, it mentions the S Tube mount under optional accessories on page 3.

I also saw some post on this forum where people have discussed the S mount, but no one has ever mentioned where to buy one.

The one from Maplin does not look like the one that is intended for the Slimline dish.

I am trying to mount the dish on the corner of the house. I do not want a roof mount. My current 3 LNB dish is mounted on the fascia board, but the 5 LNB dish is bigger and heavier. The side of the house I want to mount the dish on is opposite of the direction the dish needs to point. In other words, to mount on this side of the house, the dish would have to point directly into the wall, needless to say, not possible. So I want to mount the dish at the rear of this wall on the corner. This allows for minimal visibility of the dish and a secure mount.

Thanks for the responses.

You can likely use an eave mount, soffit mount or a J-mast (J-hook mast).

I would also like to know where to get one as it would be perfect for my application.

Thats a long drive for me. Thanks for the offer. Anyone in upstate NY have one?
