Overview

DX Engineering Vertical Ground Mount Tubing

DX Engineering Vertical Ground Mount Tubing is very high-strength 4130 Chromoly steel intended to be placed into a concrete foundation for the installation and support of large vertical antennas, tilt pivot bases and other antenna and mast tilt mounts. We have made these mounting masts the appropriate length for the intended installation and for common ground shipment at a reasonable cost; no more searching for a special pipe or paying high freight charges!

Cut from our original 4130 Chromoly Masts that are nominally 22 ft., this high-strength galvanized steel tubing is available only in two tubing sizes at nominal lengths for the intended ground mount use.

DXE-VGMT-2CG: 2.0 in. OD is about 5 ft.4 in. length, + or - 2 in.

DXE-VGMT-3CG: 3.0 in. OD is about 7 ft. 3 in. length, + or - 3 in.

Each tube features a 0.250 in. wall thickness and meets ASTM A-513 Type 5 ratings. They are cold-drawn, electric-weld, high-strength carbon-steel tubing with a yield stress rating of over 100,000 psi! Tensile strength minimum is above 110,000 psi. Minimum Rockwell B hardness is 96. They are temperature stress-relieved to ensure consistent mechanical strength. Galvanizing on these masts meets ASTM A123/A123M specifications. The surface finish has a nearly polished appearance. Cut ends have been sprayed with cold galvanizing to inhibit rust.

Are you raising a BIG vertical or antenna mast? If you are going to crank up a large vertical antenna or antenna support mast that will put a LOT of torque on the pivot base or tilt base mount, then order DX Engineering Vertical Ground Mount Tubing for your antenna project and get it without paying truck freight!
