SteppIR Antennas - 4 Element 25
3. Insert the butt end of that FTP into one of the EST’s on an EHU, as shown in Figure 29 . It is very
important to ensure that the butt end of the EST firmly bottoms out inside the EST. Then push
the quick disconnect boot firmly onto the EST until the hose clamp is past the aluminum ring and will
clamp down onto the fiberglass telescoping pole (FTP). This ensures that the hose clamp and quick
disconnect boot (QDB) can grip onto the fiberglass telescoping pole and the ring will prevent the
quick disconnect boot from ever coming off. The correct mounting position of the quick disconnect
boot is shown in
Figure 30 .
4. Firmly tighten both stainless steel hose clamps, one over the EST and the other over the FTP. Then
test the connection by pulling and twisting it. There should be no slippage at the joints.
NOTE: You should re-tighten each clamp a second time (at least 30 minutes after the first time ) be-
fore raising the antenna to the tower, to be sure that there has been no cold flowing of the
PVC material on the rubber boot.
Install the Optional 6 Meter Passive Element (If ordered)
If you have purchased the optional 6M passive element kit:.
Locate: (Ref: Picture 31 )
● One 6M passive element kit 110.5” (long)
● One mounting kit (long)
● One 6M passive element kit 104.5” (short)
● One mounting kit (short)
● Blue packet of Connector Protector
Using their respective hardware kits (long & short - Picture 31 ) assemble the two 6M passive elements.
Identify the ends of the 3/8” tubing that have the shortest distance from the end of the tubing to the drilled
hole. Lightly coat the circumference of these ends with a very thin film of the connector protector. Slide
the coated ends of the 3/8” tubing into the 1/2” tubing and align the holes.
