Feed Point Insulator Assembly - Pacific Antenna PAC-12 Manual

** Note, the quantity of these items in the kit depend on whether the multiband coil or standard
coil kit is purchased.. All antenna hardware is the same for both kits, only the coil kit hardware
will vary.

Feed point insulator assembly

Start by inserting the 2 smaller aluminum end caps into the ends of the PVC tube to check the fit.
Align the holes and secure using the two 8-32 x 5/16" stainless screws. Be sure to use the
correct screws, as the longer 3/8" screws supplied for the loading coil will interfere with the
threaded sections screwing into the end caps.
The screws should start smoothly and should not require much effort to tighten. If otherwise,
make sure the threads are aligned properly. Be careful not to over tighten as the end cap metal is
aluminum and is it possible to strip the threads. It will be necessary to remove the screws later
but they are installed now to prevent crushing the tube while installing the BNC plate.
Secure with a lock washer and the ¼-20 nut. Tighten from the bolt head side while holding the
BNC plate in position.
