Overview
The Universal Roof/Attic Mount allows you to install an antenna mast to a roof or in an attic, up to 1.5” in diameter.
Apparatus for installing an antenna mast on a roof or in an attic, up to 1.5” in diameter.Specifications
The universal roof/attic mount bracket is useful for some - though not all - rooftop mounting situations. It is a lightweight bracket and - by itself - will not keep long sections of mast vertical; guy wires are required.
The bracket _does_not_ include sealing pads or sealant for a rooftop installation. I was having my roof replaced and the roofing crew installed the bracket and sealed the bracket and mounting bolts for me.
I use this bracket with a 10-foot section of mast to support the end of a ham radio wire antenna above my rooftop. I have 2 guy wires spaced about 120 degrees from the wire antenna. Guy wires and the wire antenna are mounted to a guying ring about 7 feet up the mast. The tension on the antenna and guy wires keeps the mast (mostly) vertical - I'm more concerned about removing sag from the wire antenna than on the aesthetic appearance of the mast.
My installation has low wind loading - that is, the area of the antenna and guy wires is small, so there is not a lot of sideways force exerted on the mount when the wind is blowing. For my situation, other Channel Master mounts are complete overkill.
I would be comfortable using this mount with other small, light-weight antennas - such as Channel Master's Pro Model UHF/VHF TV antenna - though I recommend using guy wires for any practical length of mast. Larger and heavier antennas, though, need a heavier mount.
I used this mount for a roof application mounting it on top of the singles with some butyle rubber between the mount and shingles for a tight seal. The screws in the kit would work fine for mounting to a wood wall structure, but for the roof I used longer/larger wood screws with a round top 3/8" hex style head. It works great for mounting the antenna pole to the roof. This mount is only intended to anchor the base of the antenna, setting the end of the pole directly into the mount and using guy wires to steady the pole vertically. This is a two man job, one to set the mounting base and guy wires and one to hold the antenna pole vertically.
This is the best way to mount a mast in the attic. I've used it four times and I never have any problems finding plumb.
I would not recommend this mount for anything but an attic install as it is very flimsy. With no wind it does the job fine.
Whoops - I ordered it wayyy too small, but it appears like a good mount.
