Product Description
At a Glance: The EM-BKT-BFG05 Mounting Bracket is a heavy-duty single clamp assembly engineered for securing commercial fiberglass collinear and omnidirectional base station antennas. Constructed from heavy-gauge galvanized steel with high-tensile hardware, it accommodates mounting masts and tower pipes from 1.25" to 2.5" OD to resist high-wind deflection and torque.
Proper mechanical anchoring is essential for maintaining line-of-sight RF performance and preventing signal degradation caused by antenna sway or rotation. The EM-BKT-BFG05 Base Station Antenna Mounting Clamp provides rigid, slip-resistant clamping support for commercial repeater towers, rooftop installations, utility poles, and standoff pipes.
Sold as an individual bracket assembly, this mount is ideal as a direct replacement clamp, an intermediate support on tall antenna radomes, or paired with existing hardware to secure antennas along their metal mounting ferrule without crushing delicate internal components.
Key Features & Operational Benefits
- Heavy-Duty Single Clamp Assembly: Precision-formed bracket provides rigid clamping power for replacements, custom fabrications, or supplemental tower supports.
- Wide Mast Compatibility: Adjustable dual V-block and U-bolt configuration clamps securely to standard schedule 40 pipe and mast legs from 1.25" to 2.5" Outer Diameter (OD).
- Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: Zinc-plated / galvanized finish protects against rust, road salt, moisture, and UV exposure in extreme coastal and rooftop environments.
- Radome Protection: Specifically engineered to grip smooth fiberglass base sleeves and aluminum ferrule collars evenly, preventing localized stress fractures.
- Serrated V-Block Teeth: Heavy-duty machined grip teeth bite firmly into mast pipes to prevent slipping, shifting, or axial twisting under wind load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this include one clamp or a pair?
A: This item is sold as a single (1) bracket assembly. For new standard base station antenna installations, two clamps are typically recommended to provide two points of contact against wind shear.
Q: What mast pipe sizes can this bracket fit?
A: The EM-BKT-BFG05 fits standard tower legs, utility poles, and antenna support pipes with an outside diameter (OD) between 1.25 inches and 2.5 inches.
Q: Where should this clamp be positioned on the antenna?
A: Always attach the clamp to the lower metal base tube or aluminum ferrule sleeve of the antenna. Avoid clamping directly onto the fiberglass radome housing.
