Fastening the hexbeam to your mast

Method one (Simplest and most effective)

Slip the hexbeam bottom stub down into your mast

The bottom of the Hexbeam baseplate is shown at left with the center post protruding below the bottom of the baseplate about 8 inches. The Hexbeam can be mounted on your mast by inserting this post (1.3 inches O.D) into a larger mast and cross bolting it.

Method two (Ideal for steel push mast)

Use a short pipe coupling the hexbeam bottom stub

to the customer-provided steel push up mast

A short piece of pipe with an inside diameter of 1.33 inches will slip over the hexbeam bottom stub and also a Rohn steel push up mast. Install crossbolts as in Method one above.

Method three (when the other two methods won’t work)

Use pipe to pipe clamps

If the first two methods won’t work for you, a pair of pipe to pipe clamps can be used as shown left. The clamps do not come with the Hexbeam unless you order them.

The pipe to pipe clamps can be purchased below.

Pipe to Pipe Mast Clamp

This stainless steel clamp is capable of attaching the Hexbeam bottom post to a pipe of up to two inches O.D. Two are generally required as shown above.

Two pipe to pipe clamps (Recommended)	42.00
One pipe to pipe clamp	$23.00
