Two different DX Engineering Antenna Boom Tubing Kits can be used to replace a 3-in. boom of either 24 ft. or 48 ft. in length. Also, both extra heavy -duty aluminum tubing boom kits are the perfect choice to provide the backbone for the Yagi project of your dreams!

The DXE-ABT3-24R supplies two 24 ft. pieces of heavy-wall aluminum tubing; one 3-in. OD tube and one 2.715 in. OD piece that telescopes inside the larger tube to provide superior reinforcement.

The DXE-ABT3-48 provides three pieces of heavy-wall tubing in total; two 24 ft. pieces of 3-in. tubing and a 24 ft. long 2.715 in. diameter splice insert that fits 12 ft. inside each larger tube for reinforcement, to create a truly exceptional 48 ft. boom.

These heavy-duty antenna booms are suitable for Yagis and log periodic arrays from 40 through 10 meters.

These booms are not pre-drilled for assembly and will require drilling and fitting to suit your needs. Before assembly, any dirt or foreign material will need to be removed from the boom pieces and splice piece. The inside and outside of all tubes must be thoroughly cleaned. This will allow smooth joining of the aluminum without jamming. Application of SS-30 Jet Lube is also a must to allow long lengths of the precision aluminum splice tube to telescope inside the boom tubes. Joining bolts are included but any other antenna assembly hardware is user supplied.

If you have a large antenna project in mind that requires a strong boom assembly, these DX Engineering Antenna Boom Tubing Kits are the choice you're looking for!
