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 Guy Rings

DX Engineering Guy Rings advance the art of stabilizing vertical rigid telescopic tubing. These newly engineered and incredibly strong Guy Rings are intended for rope guying DX Engineering, Hustler, and all brands of aluminum tubing vertical antennas, as well as the DX Engineering Telescoping Fiberglass and Aluminum Tubing Kits. Unlike the other guys' rings, DX Engineering Guy Rings have smoothed holes with no sharp edges, protecting your directly threaded ropes. Six 5/16 in. diameter attachment holes allow guy ropes to be properly spaced for three or four way guying systems. DX Engineering Guy Rings are made from the super strong, black UV resistant, glass-reinforced poly-resin material that was introduced with DX Engineering's Universal Wire Antenna Kits EZ-BUILD™ UWA Center-T and End Insulators. They are virtually impervious to extreme outdoor conditions and mechanical stress. If you have a DX Engineering wire antenna or UWA Kit, you will know that these Guy Rings are made to last and will set a new standard in rope guying attachments. With their 1/2 in. thick center hole shoulder, these Guy Rings simply slide over their respective tubing size and seat firmly against the top of the larger tubing section below. Three kits with eight sizes provide rope guying for a myriad of vertical tubing installations: - DXE-GR-2P has two guy rings that fit onto the trap tubing of the Hustler BTV Series Vertical Antennas - DXE-GR-4P has four larger guy rings for Heavy Duty Telescoping Fiberglass sets or aluminum tubing - DXE-GR-5P is the original set with sizes for Standard Telescoping Fiberglass sets or various sized aluminum tubing DX Engineering Guy Rings are so handy and inexpensive that you can have a set on hand, ready for your next antenna project.

DX Engineering Carbon Fiber Mast Guy Rings

DX Engineering® Carbon Fiber Mast Guy Rings push the boundaries of vertical mast stabilization for rigid, telescopic tubing systems. Purpose-engineered for rope guying DX Engineering Premium Carbon Fiber Masts, these exceptionally strong Guy Rings represent a smarter, tougher approach to mast support. Unlike ordinary guy rings, DX Engineering Guy Rings feature precision-smoothed attachment holes with no sharp edges, safeguarding directly threaded guy ropes from abrasion and premature wear. Six evenly spaced 5/16 inch attachment holes provide ideal geometry for both three way and four way guying systems, ensuring balanced, reliable tension in real-world installations. Manufactured from a super strong, black, UV resistant glass reinforced poly resin, these Guy Rings deliver the same proven durability introduced with DX Engineering's EZ BUILD™ Universal Wire Antenna Kit Center T and End Insulators. They are virtually impervious to harsh outdoor environments, intense sunlight, and heavy mechanical stress. Anyone familiar with DX Engineering wire antennas or UWA Kits will immediately recognize the quality—these Guy Rings are built to last and set a new benchmark for rope guying attachments. Each ring features a ½ inch thick center hole shoulder that easily slides over the appropriate tubing size and seats firmly against the top of the lower mast section, providing positive positioning without slipping or shifting. Smartly priced and incredibly versatile, DX Engineering Carbon Fiber Mast Guy Rings are the kind of essential hardware you'll want to keep on hand.

DX Engineering Penetrox A Anti-Oxidants

DX Engineering Penetrox A Anti-Oxidants are electrical joint compounds that ensure a proper electrical connection between aluminum and copper metal parts Use Penetrox on junctions such as conductors, telescoping aluminum tubing, or other antenna and grounding parts. Penetrox A Anti-Oxidants are compounds of a natural oil base with suspended zinc particles, which ensure high conductivity at all voltage levels by displacing moisture and preventing the corrosion or oxidation of the metal. Although not recommended for use with rubber or polyethylene insulated wire, DX Engineering Penetrox A Anti-Oxidants are intended to be used between all aluminum to aluminum and aluminum to copper tubing or bare conductor connections. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. For lasting, low-resistance, non-corroding connections order DX Engineering Penetrox A Anti-Oxidants!
