Radial Plate to Mounting Pipe
Install the optional
DXE-RADP-3
Radial Plate (patented) on the 2" OD mounting pipe using an
optional
DXE-SSVC-2P
V-Bolt Saddle Clamp as shown in
Figure 1
. The standard 1-1/2"
galvanized water pipe (with its 1.9" OD) is just fine for this application and can usually be found at
your local home building supply store. Mount the Radial Plate so you have approximately 1" of
space between the bottom of the plate and the ground level. This will allow easy access to install
the radial wire hardware. The
DXE-RADP-3
Radial Plate comes with 20 sets of stainless steel
hardware for mounting the radial wires. Mount the plate as shown in relation to how the Tilt Base
is mounted.
