We just mounted a dish to a grain leg platform that had 90 degree sheet metal angle about 3 inches on a side. Our usual method of pipe-to-pipe clamps or an MTOW-P would have deformed the angle. I ended up using Sinclair CLAMP015C which are really nice but way too expensive. They also have a CLAMP111 for larger angle. The Sinclair parts are heavier duty than they look in the catalog. Main downside (after price) is no adjustment to plump the pipe if the angle isn’t plumb.
Awhile back we mounted a 3 ft licensed dish to an old Long Lines tower, the angle iron was about 5 inches on a side and maybe 1/8 inch thick, plus it was a self supporter so the legs were sloped. We used a Commscope (Andrew) clamp set for angle legs that did the job, it was just wide enough for the angle.

(thickness estimate too if possible) From: mailto:[email protected] Sent: Monday, June 06, 2016 10:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] angle iron tower legs We do. I think the all thread needs to be at least 10" due to the width of the angle iron.

I am going to add that option but need someone to test some prototypes.
