If I use a 2" X 21' top fence rail, hooked vertical on the side of garage, it should be ok with grounding? Will the U-clamps attach to the 2" pipe?

No it will not, but buy three stainless steel hose clamps and make sure you clamp it with only the metal base, keeping the tuning adjustment above the top of the antenna. This is how I put them on commercial fishing vessels. Have fun and don't get near electrical wires!!!!

i think you will need larger u clamps. i think the clamps furnished with this antenna are made for standard 1 1/4" mast.

I would surely think so. Mine is attached to the side of my garage. However, I did not drill thru the unit itself or use any brackets. The unit is tall and will be top heavy with vines/plants this season so I wanted it anchored toward the top. I used two Gardner Bender 45-518N Heavy Duty Military Cable Ties , 18-Inch, White, 10-Pack for $5.86. I attached two med-large round eye wood screws to the outside of garage through and into the studs. Then looped cable ties thru the screws and around each back side post of the arbor . . . pulled them tight and worked great. White ties match the unit so not really noticeable and vines will hide them as well. I don't really care if the ties show it is secured and that's what I wanted.

The pictures do show it "right side up", grounding lugs should be at top for verticle installations. For horizontal installations, the neutral side of the outlet should be up. Don't remember for sure, but I think that this is a "recommendation" in the electrical code not a requirement. The norm has become to mount it with the ground lug down even though this is not the safe way to do it.

The clamp opens to 4", but you need to be able to screw the bolt in to hold it to the railing. I would say you would need to screw it in at least an inch in order to hold it tight.

I have it mounted on a 2 inch metal railing, but that is the max to clamp onto. It opens just over 2 inches wide.

It comes with studs for connection. I think they were #10's. The grounding bracket would be less reliable than using 2 wires. Best to toss it. It does not touch the vehicle directly as the plastic is in between. Only the fastener makes the electrical connection and if you tighten too much you will fracture the plastic housing. Toss the grounding bracket and use 2 wires.

I don't think it would work - mine are on a 2" x 6" porch rail - the brackets are made to clip over - they are heavy when full, but they are easy to take down and store for the winter. I think they make a planter for fence application?

Yes, it is the only way you can take full advantage of the reach. Your fence travel will be limited to the depth of your table. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xoky161yoize89a/IMG_2289.JPG See the photo in the link and note how far back the rail clamp is.

It can be mounted anywhere inline, but it must be grounded. It is best to be grounded straight to a grounding rod outside.

It may depend on how you mount the clamp. The clamp retracts to the complete vertical position when the handle is released all the way. However, the workpiece must still clear the rubber hold-down which is about 3/4" plus and distance that the threaded stud is extended. I mounted my clamps on 4" x 4" blocks with the clamp attached just over 1" from the edge. In this configuration I could lift the workpiece straight up if need be.

I think it will work with no problem. The sides tuck under the rails, not over. I think worst case would be minor trimming to clear the individual clamps. It is easy to trim with a utility knife or heavy duty scissors.

I have pulled grounding rods using the puller and a chain with a hook on the end. I'm not sure what your circumstances are though so I'm not sure if that will work for you or not.

This adapter is a 3/4" Female Garden Hose Thread to a 1/2" drip line. I would keep it above the ground, but I guess you could bury it if you wanted to.

Hello! I bought this unit because I didn't want to use any floor space in my garage as with the tripod units. When fastening my hybrid commuter bike to the clamp, I had limited space behind the bike for adjusting and working. Also, my handlebars almost touched the wall. If I had to buy one again, I would get a freestanding unit.

It would not. Just measured mine with the clamp closed all the way. There is an inch gap. You could place a block of wood between the clamp and your rail. I will try to post Picts soon. I really like these hangers.

It will clamp onto any type of railing. What I can't guarantee is if it will be properly supported by your rail. It depends on the sturdiness of your railing but the clamp is very secure and heavy.

Hi Dave, I plan to place/pull my part directly from above. The black rubber hold down will over hang the four bolt base 1/2" if screwed all the way in. There is plenty of adjustment to create the clearance at the full range of clamp thicknesses on the one I bought.
