DX Engineering Tower Accessory Shelves
DX Engineering Tower Accessory Shelves are custom made by DX Engineering in two sizes and styles to fit different size ROHN and Amerite Towers. Made from 3/16 in. thick, laser-cut "304" Stainless Steel, each DXE Accessory Shelf comes with all stainless steel tower mounting hardware for long-lasting, durable strength. Both accessory shelves have four slotted holes (no drilling required*) to mount the most popular rotators from Yaesu, DX Engineering, M2 Antennas and Hy-Gain, and two additional holes are provided for rotator models with six mounting bolts. Rotator or positioner mounting bolts are not included with these plates; they are provided by the manufacturer with each rotator unit. Two models of DX Engineering Tower Accessory Shelves are available. Click the part details below to see more images of each model: - DXE-AS25G fits ROHN 25G and Amerite 25 towers, with formed integral brackets for v-bolt clamps. This plate is used ONLY for mounting a rotator at the top of a 25 top section or where there are no cross braces on a 25 straight section that would interfere with installation and operation of the rotator. NOTE: ROHN 25G does not accommodate mid-section bearings, so there are no holes for bearings. NO BEARINGS can be mounted on the DXE-AS25G. If you want to use a bearing, use a flat top tower section that accommodates a bearing, or install ROHN 45G or 55G Tower and DXE-AS455G Accessory Shelves. - DXE-AS455G is adjustable to fit ROHN 45G and 55G towers and Amerite -45 and -55 towers. This model accessory shelf mounts all of the rotators listed and features additional holes for mounting DX Engineering Thrust Bearings (DXE-TB300 and DXE TB400). These shelves are mounted with 3/16 in. stainless steel L-brackets and double stainless steel V-bolts at each tower leg. DXE-AS455G may be used anywhere in any 45 or 55 section for a rotator or as a bearing shelf, including as a Top Bearing Plate. As with all stainless steel hardware, a good quality anti-seize lubricant, such as Jet-Lube SS-30 (part number JTL-12555) should be used to avoid galling. When installing, mount the shelf level in the tower. Tighten all bolts evenly. *NOTE: Larger holes are only needed when mounting the OR2800 series M2 Antennas rotator. No holes are provided for Hy-Gain HDR-300 series rotators.)

DX Engineering Bent Pin Shackles
DX Engineering Bent Pin Shackles are used for guy line attachment to towers for Amateur Radio and commercial applications. Also known as a clevis in the power industry, these shackles are specially designed with a removable bent bolt and locking nut to go through the outer hole of the matching guy strain insulators commonly known as the "502" or the "504" in ham radio tower work. Forged from 1/2 in. steel and hot dip galvanized, these Bent Pin Shackles have a minimum ultimate strength of over 12,000 lbs. and have a rounded end large enough to be used around a tower leg. However, they are typically connected to a guy attachment tower ear or guy bracket, with a screw pin shackle used as a link. The insulators that fit inside of this shackle accept the guy line big grips from either metal or non-metallic guy lines. For those who already have insulators, Bent Pin Shackles are offered in a set of three for each level of guying. We sell the matching DXE-502 and DXE-504 insulators in sets of three. Also available are two kits that include three Insulators of either size and three Bent Pin Shackles. Look to DX Engineering for the unique tower hardware that you need.

DX Engineering Bearing Bypass Ground Kits
DX Engineering Bearing Bypass Grounding Kits are designed to provide a low-resistance parallel path for lightning; protecting your valuable thrust and rotator bearings. Never mind the equipment replacement cost, one of these could save you a tower climb! These kits attach to your mast, bypass your thrust bearing, and then connect directly to your tower leg. Their 1AWG copper cable shunts high currents around the thrust bearing, preventing damage to bearings and races. By carrying heavy currents directly to the tower leg, you will also protect your rotator motor bearings at the bottom of the mast- another big expense. These kits come complete with clamps, bolts, and cable with ring lugs already installed. Protect the important mechanical and electrical items atop your tower!

DX Engineering Phillystran Steel Tail Kits
DX Engineering Phillystran Steel Tail Kits provide the appropriate transition from non-metallic to metallic guying cable at the ground end of tower guying systems. Steel Tail Kits are available for Phillystran HPTG-4000I, -6700I and 11200I Guy Lines. What is the function of the steel tail? Here is the recommendation by Phillystran, the manufacturer of HPTG-I High Performance Tower Guy non-metallic guy lines: A steel tail is a length of EHS (Extra High Strength) steel guy line connecting the HPTG-I assemblies to the turnbuckle or guy anchor. The steel tail protects the HPTG-I assemblies from damage due to brush fires, lawn maintenance equipment or vandals. The steel tail length should be sufficient to get the bottom end of the HPTG-I assembly above arm's reach, or above brush tops (if located in a marsh or tall brush area). The HPTG-I should never pass through tree limbs or be allowed to rub against poles or trees. The steel tail allows for easier guy length calculations and serves as a guy tension monitoring point, as well as a safer area to attach guy grips during guy line installation and tensioning. Eliminating the hassle of buying a length of steel cable and obtaining a special tool to cut it, DX Engineering Phillystran Steel Tail Kits provide everything needed to isolate your tower's non-metallic guy cable from harm. Three different size kits are available for different tower guying requirements provided by Phillystran guy cables 4000I, 6700I and 11200I. Here are the items included in these innovative Steel Tail kits: - 12 ft. EHS steel guy line, Galvanized, in three kit sizes, 3/16 in., 1/4 in. or 5/16 in. - Porcelain Guy Line Strain Insulator, 502 or 504 depending upon kit size - Galvanized Steel Preform Dead End Big-Grips for EHS steel guy line, two per line - Heavy Duty Thimble, galvanized steel, appropriately sized for each kit - Cable Ties, UV protected Black, four, to secure installed Big-Grip ends Note: Phillystran guy line and Preform Dead End Big-Grips for Phillystran are not provided in this kit and must be ordered separately. DX Engineering Phillystran Steel Tail Kits provide Porcelain Guy Line Strain Insulators for the top end of the Steel Tail so that the galvanized steel Big-Grips for the Phillystran and for the EHS Steel Guy Lines do not touching and make RF noise. For three different size Phillystran guy line, HPTG-4000I, -6700I and -11200I, these kits are available exclusively from DX Engineering in 3-packs for each level of tower guying.
