Steel Mast Extension – 800 mm Long, Ø 38 mm Tube, for Support Pipes up to Ø 50 mm
The AS38280 is an 800 mm steel mast extension designed to create an additional mounting position on suitable existing antenna masts, round pipes and support structures.
The extension tube has an outside diameter of Ø 38 mm.
According to the available product data, the unit is attached using two U-bolts and mounting claws and is suitable for support pipes and masts up to Ø 50 mm.
Installation is possible on suitable horizontal as well as vertical round pipes.
800 mm additional length
The mast extension is:
800 mm
80 cm long
This provides additional mounting height or offset where the original antenna position is unsuitable.
Ø 38 mm extension tube
The antenna mounting tube measures:
Ø 38 mm outside diameter
The intended antenna clamp must be compatible with this tube diameter.
For support pipes up to Ø 50 mm
According to the product data, the mounting system is intended for suitable masts and round pipes up to:
Ø 50 mm
The support structure must also be mechanically suitable for the additional load.
Two U-bolts and mounting claws
The attachment system includes:
2 U-bolts
mounting claws
The two clamping points support a secure connection to the existing support pipe.
Actual holding performance depends on:
support pipe diameter
pipe wall thickness
material
surface condition
tightening force
antenna weight
wind load
Horizontal or vertical installation
The mast extension can be attached to suitable:
vertical round pipes
horizontal round pipes
This allows use in a range of antenna mounting arrangements.
Balcony installations
The AS38280 may be useful on suitable balcony pipe structures where an antenna needs additional height or clearance.
A balcony railing is not automatically structurally suitable for an antenna installation.
Its profile, wall thickness and connection to the building must be considered.
Suitable for satellite installations
The Ø 38 mm tube can be used for suitable satellite antennas where the dish clamp is compatible.
No confirmed maximum satellite dish diameter is specified in the available data.
Increased leverage
The 800 mm extension creates additional leverage on the existing support structure.
The effect becomes more significant with:
larger antennas
greater wind area
exposed mounting locations
weak or long support pipes
Other antenna applications
Depending on the mechanical load, the extension may also be used for suitable:
DVB-T/T2 antennas
DAB/DAB+ antennas
FM antennas
radio antennas
WLAN or directional radio antennas
Galvanised steel
The mast extension is manufactured from galvanised steel.
The available legacy information is inconsistent regarding the exact galvanising process, so no specific galvanising method is stated here.
Typical applications
The AS38280 can be used for:
extending an existing antenna mast
providing additional antenna height
balcony antenna installations
side or upper mounting on a suitable pipe
retrofitting existing antenna systems
replacing an older mast extension
