Unflanged elbow at one end, flanged at the other; I felt pretty good about making the connection (between two things that were never planned to be connected) with only the one section and two different-dimension elbows.<br /><br /> Actual path: waveguide-to-6-1/8" coax adaptor, 6-18" elbow down, step transition to 3-1/8", flange adaptor, unflanged elbow, 6' run, flange adaptor, flanged elbow back to back with another and then the horizontal run out to the tower and up. (VSWR? What's that?)<br /><br /> Originally, the 3-1/8" line came in from the tower, had an elbow down, a step transition to tiny 1-58" line and went into a big coaxial switch. Things had shifted since it went in -- popped all of that free and the line slid about 7/8" closer.<br /><br /> If the line dimensions seem funny, it's rigid line; the outers are actually old standard water pipe sizes, but it's 1/16" wall and water pipe is defined by the inside diameter.<br /><br /> EIA coax flanges are also standard water pipe sizes -- but don't let on you know, it doesn't seem nearly so high-tech.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-41564134508776413392011-12-19T22:29:54.754-05:002011-12-19T22:29:54.754-05:00Wow, shiny.
