JTL-12555 Jet-Lube
™
SS-30 Pure Copper Anti-Seize 12555
Jet-Lube
™
SS-30 Pure Copper Anti-Seize is the top choice of engineers and technicians in government, industry and leading Amateur
Radio contest stations, for protecting mechanical assemblies of aluminum tubing, general hardware and copper grounding
systems. On bonded metal surfaces Jet-Lube
™
SS-30 assures electrical and RF conductivity while preventing oxidation
and corrosion. Surpassing the capabilities of other aluminum anti-oxidants, the wide temperature range of Jet-Lube
™
SS-
30 prevents long-term drying and caking, and allows easy disassembly and effortless cleaning of parts. An
environmentally preferred thread lubricant and conductive termination compound, Jet-Lube
™
SS-30 helps keep your
equipment in serviceable condition. It contains a high concentration of copper flakes, a requirement for heavy loads or
compression; controlled frictional characteristics allow the surfaces of nuts and bolts to be tightened to their design torque
specifications. This anti-seize product assures full hydraulic efficiency by allowing the metal surfaces to slide over each
other without damaging metal-to-metal contact. Jet-Lube
™
SS-30 is also designed to work as a similar and dissimilar
component between two metal surfaces to prevent seizing and galvanic action. The SS-30 compound formula improves
conductivity and ground continuity - and will not melt in high temperatures.

For Quick Tilt Action
DXE-TB-3P - Tilt Base for Hustler
®
BTV Antennas
With a patented DX Engineering Tilt Base, operators can raise or lower their BTV vertical in seconds while
leaving the base plate securely attached to the mounting pipe or post. One person can service the antenna - no
more climbing ladders or removing brackets. Easily make repairs, tune your vertical or lay your antenna down
before bad weather hits. Precision cut from 3/16 in. 304 Stainless Steel, this Tilt Base is virtually indestructible.
Conveniently mounts to the same pipe or post that you use for the antenna and radial plate.
For STEEL pipe
from 1" to 2" OD the new all-Stainless Steel SSVC-2P is the recommended clamp.
No other hardware is
required because the Hustler
®
BTV series base section attaches directly to the DX Engineering Tilt Base.
DXE-SSVC-2P - Stainless Steel V-Clamp for 1 to 2 inch steel pipe
This V-Clamp is made in one size that fits Steel tubing or pipe from 1 to 2'' OD as used in antenna construction. The supplied V-bolt
is long enough to attach tubing to thick plates and is made with anti-corrosive properties. The special Stainless Steel saddle has
serrated teeth will clamp to the pipe securely by biting into the surface. For this reason, it is not recommended for softer aluminum
tubing or pipe. Ideal for fastening a radial plate and antenna mounting to a steel pipe. V-Bolt thread dimensions: 5/16-18 x 2.0"
Used to clamp 1 to 2'' (OD) steel tubing or pipe
Designed for attachment to round steel support members
V-bolt and saddle made from high-strength 18-8* stainless steel
*The use of an anti-seize compound is HIGHLY recommended to achieve proper torque and prevent galling.
