31. Use the diagram below to help you with the rest of the assembly.
32. Thread the coax through a fender washer. Slide the washer up into the
leg of the 'T'.
33. Use a tie wrap to hold the fender washer up inside of the leg of the 'T'
and keep the coax wire tight to the PC board. You may have to re-arrange
a few things on the PC board to make it fit.
34. Thread the coax through one of the 10" piece of 1" PVC pipe.
35. Slide the PVC pipe into the leg of the 'T', notice how the pipe pins the
fender washer into place, and the fender washer keeps things centered.
36. Thread another fender washer onto the coax. Use a tie wrap to hold it
in place on the end of the pipe.
37. Thread the coax through the 90 degree PVC elbow. Place the elbow
on the PVC pipe pinning the fender washer in place.
38. Thread the last of the fender washers onto the coax. Use a tie wrap to
hold the washer in place inside the elbow.
39. Thread the last piece of 10" PVC pipe with the coax.
Now we are ready to mount the 'F' style connector. You may choose to use
another connector to suit your preferences, if so, feel free to do so. We've
used an 'F' connector since they are very common, easy to attach on coax
and work well at these frequencies.
40. Mount the 'F' connector in the endcap as shown, using the hardware
in the order of: Nut-Lockwasher-PVC end cap-Nut-Solder Lug-F
Connector as shown.
