Pole Mount

[jimisham]

Anyone know where I could find a 2" OD pipe longer than 6ft? I know solidsignal.com offers a 6ft pipe, but that won't work for me. Is this something a hardware store would carry? Thanks

I couldn't find it at Home Depot, Lowes or any hardware store.

You made sure to order the SS40 right? I would have hit the local plumbing supply.

What I will do with my direcway installs is use a 9 foot pole 2" sch 40 which makes it 2 3/8 OD. I will dig my hole 2 1/2 feet then take a pole driver and drive it another 1/2 foot this makeing it 6 feet off the ground, then pour concrete and water in the hole and pound all the air pockets out. This works well cause the 1/2 foot I dive it in the ground will keep the pole stable while the concrete is drying.

Edit: Fixed my screwup

THE TATE....

You would use a schedule 40 2 inch pipe? A plastic pipe?

I guess at only 6 or 7 foot above ground level that may be ok...but I'm not so sure! I guess you could put concrete and a section of rebar in the center.

Galvanized pipe seems so much easier...................

Let us know please

The spec Schd40 doesn't denote the material of the pipe. It denotes wall thickness of a given pipe regardless of material. You would want Sch40 galvenized steel pipe.

Plastic?

Thanks, this link helps me out a lot. I was not able to find 2" OD poles in any hardware store either.

My bad on the OD/ID I was mis-typing the entire time. I remembered 2" but was off on the OD part. They are very easy to find, and DO NOT buy fence ANYTHING to mount your dish, unless it clearly states that it is sch40 or thicker and made of steel.

So now I'm a little confused. I thought the OD had to be 2". Now it seems a few of you are talking about 2 3/8" OD. Wouldn't that be too big?

You want neither 1 7/8 outside is the size of the regular mounting pole.

 

[HCI]

if your talking about the 18" dtv poles they are 1 5/8.

I have my 3 LNB dish on a pole now, but once I move to the new 5 LNB dish, I'll need the bigger pole. Is the 1 7/8" pole for the new larger dish?

A muffler repair shop will have 2" OD 15 ga pipe for the AT9 ODU and will cut to size.
