JTL-12555  Jet-Lube

 SS-30 Pure Copper Anti-Seize  

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.  
  Jet-Lube

 SS-30 Pure Copper Anti-Seize Features include: 

* Meets MIL-PRF-907E spec 
* K-factor: 0.13 
* Service rating: -65 degrees F (-54 degrees C) to 1800 degrees F (820 degrees C)

DXE-UHF-FDFB-KIT  -  Silver Plated Female SecureMount

 Bulkhead Connector - Dual SO-239 

The DX Engineering Silver Plated Female SecureMount

 Bulkhead Connector is a high-quality silver-plated connector that provides 

a positive, permanently secure connection for your coaxial cable. The two-sided SO-239 female connector has a superior silver-
plated body with silver contacts to ensure the best performance for any application. The SecureMount

 flange, which employs four 

mounting screws, means that the bulkhead connector won't work loose like those with concentric nuts and washers. Once mounted to 
any panel or bulkhead, the flanged bulkhead connector will provide the best possible connection and stay that way. Additionally, 
when using our Radial Plate, Tower Leg Brackets or SO-239 Mounting Brackets, the SecureMount

 Bulkhead Connectors are the 

best way to bond your coax to ground this side of Cad-Welding! Unlike many common nickel-plated bulkhead connectors, our silver-
plated SecureMount bulkhead connectors have no air space within their midpoint. This area of solid and superior PTFE dielectric 
between the center conductor and body maintains constant impedance and ultimate performance.

DXE-RADW-65RT Pre-Assembled, 65 foot Radial Wires, w/ 1/4" ring Terminals, 20 Pack

 

The DXE-RADW-65T Radial Wire Kit include the highest quality 14 gauge stranded copper wire with a relaxed black PVC 
insulation for easy installation of your radial system.  This allows fast and easy installation of your radial ground system. The 
stranded wire and relaxed insulation mean that the wire will lay flat as you place it on the ground - easy to install! The twenty 65 foot 
pre-cut radial wires include 1/4" ring terminals professionally crimped on one end for quick and easy attachment to the radial 
plate.  This Radial Wire Kit is designed for users of vertical antenna systems which have the need for a high quality radial system for 
optimum antenna performance. The 1/4" ring terminals are machine crimped for maximum grip.  Soldering is not required for 
strength, but is recommended if installed in corrosive environments such as salt spray. 

 

Packed 20 Radial Wires per package 

 

14 gage, stranded copper wire  

 

Black relaxed PVC insulation 

 

1/4" Ring Terminal professionally crimped on each Radial Wire 

 

 

 

DXE-STPL-100BD - Radial Wire Staple, Biodegradable, 3", 100 pack  

 

DX Engineering DXE-STPL-100BD is a 100-pack of 3” 

biodegradable

 anchors that are produced from recycled PLA 

(Polylactide Resin). Depending on the weather conditions, they will degrade in about a year. They are easily installed 
and will hold radial wires in place until lawn roots overtake them - and then disappear.  Ecologically friendly!
