I’ll post some photos of the beta units. From: Erich Kaiser Sent: Friday, February 13, 2015 8:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Pipe Mounts
With Rohn type tower, it seems there is a ton of bending/flexing with any weight, maybe a welded smaller diameter for leg side specific up to Rohn 55G with larger pipe side up to around 2 3/8"? Maybe a welded spacer from small side to large side (To get it away from the leg), kinda like MTow style but a solid piece?

I can later offer the different size but we gotta get the product out there on beta test. I am leaning strongly towards 2.875” as you really don’t want larger dishes on small towers. A dish large enough to want 4.5” is not going to be too happy hanging off the side of a 45G.

And doing the larger version of the M-TOW-P The question is, what size pipe? I had initially designed it with 3 inch pipe which is actually 3.5” OD. Looking at the pipe chart, 2.5” has an OD of 2.875”. The smaller pipe would be noticeably lighter to heft. Is that large enough to make SAF type mounts happy? Or would y’all rather have the larger pipe.
