″

 wall thickness, 3 feet long. 

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. 

 

Quik-Set Concrete

 - Mounting pipe installation (type depends on your landscape) 

 

Hi-Z

 Plus-6 High Impedance Amplifier - one for each antenna used, depending on the Hi-Z 

system purchased. 

 
 
Suggested Parts Not Included 

 

 

JTL-12555 Jet-Lube SS-30

 - To ensure good connection for aluminum element sections 

and also used on the threads of Stainless Steel Hardware to prevent galling and aid in proper 
tightening torque.
