get your pipes from local plumbing shop, much cheaper than distributors we found. I realised you can do this when site pro forgot to wipe off the printing on the pipe and it was the same thing the plumber carried.
we use UPC-1 to do standoffs on all 4 corners of grain legs, the 90 degree angle iron theyre usually made of fits in the notch to stabilize it and we put a 40ish inch pipe inside to give something to bite too. We put 7' pipes on the stand offs. This gives us a mount for a sector on top ahd a backhaul on bottom on each corner. I dont think I would put more than a 2' backhaul on each though without a stabilizer On Mon, Sep 29, 2014 at 12:31 PM, Darin Steffl via Af <af@afmug.com> wrote: > Hey guys, > > We are looking for a reasonably priced source for pipe to pipe clamps and > other hardware to attach our mounts to towers and railings on grain legs, > etc. We are looking to strengthen our future tower builds and move up from > our more amateur way of attaching pipes to our tower structures. > > What suppliers do you recommend for mounting gear and what kind of > standoffs are you using the most for different types of mounting surfaces > (tower leg, railings on grain legs, etc.)?

You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer. -- IBM maintenance manual, 1925
