DX Engineering Aluminum Tubing
DX Engineering High-Strength Aluminum Tubes are ideal for your antenna building projects. It is made available in sizes that fit into and over the next, with close tolerances specifically designed for strength when joined and overlapping only by a few to several inches, to build Yagi, Moxon or vertical antenna elements. NOTE: This tubing is NOT intended for each size to telescope completely into the full length of the next; it cannot be used for telescopic mast building. DX Engineering aluminum tubing is manufactured to very close tolerances. This provides the greatest amount of surface contact between nesting tubes for mechanical and electrical stability. Due to the close tolerance, any burrs, dirt, grit or other foreign material, as well as dents, dings and unseen bending or crushing suffered during shipment will cause binding that prevents this aluminum tubing from fully nesting. 6063-T832 seamless drawn aluminum tubing is available in 3, 6 and 12 ft. lengths. 6063-T832 tubing provides good resistance to general corrosion, including stress corrosion cracking, and an excellent surface appearance. Use a series of 3 ft. lengths to build an element that tapers more quickly for lower wind-resistance applications. Use a series of 6 ft. lengths to make an element that tapers more slowly for greater strength and bandwidth. The 12 ft. lengths are great for HF Yagi construction. Most sizes (except 12 ft.) are available slit on one end for use with DX Engineering stainless steel element clamps. If un-slit ends are required for your applications, merely insert the slit end into the next larger size in the stack and use your own attachment method. 6063-T832 tubing features a 0.058 in. wall thickness and is available in 1/8 in. increments from 3/8 in. to 2-1/8 in. O.D. 3003-H14 drawn aluminum tubing features a 0.035 inch wall thickness and a 1/4 inch outside diameter. Each piece is supplied with non slit ends and is available in both 3 foot and 6 foot lengths, making them ideal for your antenna building projects. If your setup requires maximum strength at very long assembly lengths, then choose DX Engineering 6061-T8 tubing. This heavy-duty version features a 0.120 in. wall thickness and is available in 1/4 in. increments from 1-1/2 in. to 3 in. O.D. Packaged shipments of 6 ft. tubing have oversize shipping fees, regardless of the number of 6 ft. pieces. Therefore, order more 6 ft. pieces to spread oversize fees over more tubing for a more cost effective shipment. Tubing that is 12 ft. long MUST be shipped by truck freight. If you need many pieces of the same size in a 12 ft. tube length, then buying DX Engineering High-Strength Aluminum Tubing Bundles (elsewhere in our catalog) maximizes the economy of scale for your shipping costs.

DX Engineering Silver Plated UHF Flanged Double Female Bulkhead Connector Kits
DX Engineering Silver Plated UHF Flanged Double Female Bulkhead Connector Kits are high-quality silver-plated connector kits that provide a positive, permanently secure connection for your coaxial cable. These two-sided female connectors have superior silver-plated bodies with silver contacts that ensure the best performance for any application. Silver plated connectors conduct RF very well, even when their outer surface tarnished. Their robust mounting flange, which employs four mounting screws, means that these bulkhead connectors won't work loose like those with concentric nuts and washers. Once mounted to any panel or bulkhead using the included DXE-FSM-HWK Hardware Kit, these flanged bulkhead connectors will provide the best possible connection and stay that way… period. Additionally, unlike many common nickel-plated bulkhead connectors, our silver-plated 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. When using our Radial Plate, Tower Leg Brackets or SO-239 Mounting Brackets, our Silver Plated UHF Flanged Double Female Bulkhead Connectors are the best way to bond your coax to ground this side of Cad-Welding! It's extremely important, when this connector is used with our DXE-RADP-3 Radial Plate, to ensure the best possible connection to the radials. No more RF current can flow within the antenna than is also delivered from the radials. A bad coaxial cable shield connection to the radial plate and the radials will limit your transmissions being heard by others and their signals heard by you. The same consideration applies when connecting your coax to Tower Leg Brackets and SO-239 Mounting Brackets for grounding purposes. Details for our Silver Plated UHF Flanged Double Female Bulkhead Connector Kits: * Description: Bulkhead mount, UHF female to UHF female * Body Material: Brass * Body Plating: Silver * Body Style: Flanged Dual Female * Contact Plating: Silver * Frequency Range: DC - 500 MHz * Dielectric: PTFE * Impedance: 50 Ohms * Includes DXE-FSM-HWK hardware Use of the included DXE-FSM-HWK hardware ensures an excellent connection of the flange of the connector - and hence the shield of the coax - to the ground to which the flange is connected. Comprised of a set of four 4-40 x 1/2 in. screws, four flat washers, four star washers and four nylon locking nuts, these hardware kits will keep your flange-mount coaxial connectors in place. Made of superior grade stainless steel and tough nylon, these hardware kits will last and stay bright for decades. DX Engineering Silver Plated UHF Flanged Double Female Bulkhead Connector Kits are the finest and most convenient bulkhead connectors available. Order yours today!

DX Engineering Glass Antenna Insulators
Sometimes the oldest stuff turns out to be the best. Our exclusive DX Engineering Glass Antenna Insulators hearken back to the earliest years of "wireless" transmissions. Because Irish ship builders of the day pronounced "double" as "dooble," these insulators were once known as "glass doobies" due to their tempered-glass material and double-ended form. Glass insulators offer the highest of electrical insulation properties, strength and resilience available in any insulator of its size. There will be no signal bleed off with these little glass wonders! DX Engineering's DXE-TGI-2 end insulators are 3.69 in. long with 1.125 in. diameter double ends. Each smoothed and rounded end has a 5/16 in. (0.3125 in.) hole that will accommodate many wire and rope sizes without chafing. Their tensile strength and resistance to arcing will withstand almost any wire-antenna use within the Amateur Radio service, domestic or abroad. Since these are end insulators, they are sold as a pair. These are not toy-like models or replica insulators; these are fully functional, high strength glass insulators with excellent RF properties! But, that is not to say that they aren't gorgeous and worthy of showing off! They certainly are perfect for display as a radio room decoration or as a living area conversation piece. Very smooth and pleasing to the touch, these are attractive glass insulators that make a fantastic gift for the ham who thought he had everything!
