Product Description
These tripods are very sturdy and have multiple uses. They can be used as supports for off-air
VHF/UHF antennas and they can be used as supports for satellite antennas. The tripods can be
permanently bolted to building surfaces or even concrete with the proper anchor bolts which you
provide.
The tripods collapse to a bundle that can be stowed in RVs or even carried in passenger vehicles if a
portable antenna stand is needed in a mobile application.
We highly recommend that a sealing material is used under the feet if the tripod is mounted on a roof
surface. We suggest that you use our EZP10, PV2626, PV2632 or some similar flexible sealing pad
material that will prevent roof leaks.

EZP10 Sealing pads and six hex head lag screws. This kit is to be used with the PVTP2
tripod.
PV2626 Black flexible tacky sealant in a 3 3/4” wide layer on a roll. Very useful sealant that
can be used for many jobs other than sealing tripods. You can also use this to seal
entrance holes and can be used as a moisture barrier for connectors.
PV2632 Same as PV2626 except the roll is narrower at 1 ½” wide.
