Have you even looked it up? I didn't keep the original message, so
I've lost what you really needed (Was the unistrut already in place?
Install I did last summer I spent:
10 pack of Hangers for 1/2 Hardline 16.00
10 Pack of Angle adapters 24.78
That gives you 40' of tower

Nope... I had to put that there...

Nope, because like you said, they would draw the feedline into the
strut, smashing it all up...
I regularly use cushioned clamps for attaching rigid feedline to unistrut.
I usually buy them from McMaster-Carr, but I'm sure they're available
elsewhere. McMaster-Carr has them available in
Great advice! I know how much the andrew hardware costs... That would
bankrupt this project.
I ended up going the all home depot route with galv unistrut and strut
clamps, minis and my spacing is 8'. I will evaluate the load on the
feedline, and add additional supports in problem areas..
I have seen 7/8 air punctured by wind causing the cable (jacketed) to
vibrate against slag from a weld in the galvanizing of the tower. Most
times I use #14 insulated solid copper tie wires (butterflies and beam
clamps are much nicer) in such a manner that the cable cannot rub or be
damaged by a
No, I might have used the wrong name.. I will be using EMT Hangers,
They are a U shaped jobby, with a hole in the bottom to secure them to
something and a holes at the top for a screw to pull both sides together..

OK Jay, in the electrical business we call those mineralac hangers
(depending on where you live). I thought you intended to use the uni-strut
EMT clamps.

Turn the uni-strut over and mount it flat side out and use normal snap-in
mounts every 4 to 5 feet, drill the holes in the uni-strut to fit the
snap-ins. It holds the coax without damage and you can add several more
coaxes whenever you need to.

Hi Folks,
This weekend I will be un jury rigging a lame feed line install at my
repeater site. The tower is a 300' four sided guyed monster.
I am planning on using uni-strut on the side facing the building and
using butterfly clamps or EMT clamps to hold my feed line. I am open to
suggestions

Jay,
My local tower guy told me 5 foot max between supports. If the coax moves in
big winds, it'll make noise. I'd avoid the EMT clamps. Use real coax
stainless clamps. the EMT clamps hold the coax against the 2 rails of the
uni-strut. Those 2 edges are a little sharp if you get the clamps
