FAQs
What kind of fixings do I need for the wall bracket?
Fixings for attaching the bracket to the wall are not included. You will need to select appropriate screws or bolts based on your wall type (e.g., brick, concrete, wood, render). Consult a professional if unsure.
What is the maximum mast diameter this kit can hold?
The kit includes V-bolts that can secure masts with an external diameter ranging from 0.5 inches (11mm) up to 1.5 inches (38mm).
How far does the bracket actually stick out from the wall with the mast attached?
The bracket itself protrudes 12 inches (305mm) from the wall. Due to the positioning of the mounting holes and the V-bolts, the mast will typically be about 9.25 inches (235mm) away from the wall surface.
Is the mast adjustable in height?
The mast is a fixed 8-foot (2.44m) length. You can adjust the aerial's position on the mast, but the overall mast height is set.
Can this kit be used on a chimney or roof?
This kit is specifically designed for wall mounting. It is not intended for chimney or roof installations.
What is the bracket made of?
The T & K bracket is made from 3mm thick steel and is galvanized to prevent rusting.
What is the mast made of?
The 8-foot mast is made from durable aluminum.
Troubleshooting
Bracket is loose on the wall
Ensure you have used the correct type and number of wall fixings for your specific wall material. Re-tighten all fixings securely.
Mast is not held securely
Ensure the V-bolts are correctly positioned and tightened firmly around the mast. Check that the mast diameter is within the compatible range (0.5" - 1.5").
Poor TV signal after installation
Verify the aerial is correctly aligned with the transmitter. Check all cable connections. Ensure the mast is positioned as high as possible and away from obstructions. Consider if a larger aerial or amplifier is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Choose Location: Select a sturdy wall location, preferably with clear line-of-sight to the TV transmitter.
Attach Bracket: Securely fasten the T & K bracket to the wall using appropriate fixings for your wall type (e.g., masonry screws for brick, lag bolts for wood). *Fixings are not included.* Ensure the bracket is level.
Mount Mast: Place the 8ft aluminum mast into the bracket and secure it using the provided V-bolts. Ensure the mast is vertical and the V-bolts are tightened firmly.
Attach Aerial: Mount your TV aerial onto the mast at the desired height and orientation.
Compatibility:
The V-bolts accommodate masts with an external diameter between 0.5 inches (11mm) and 1.5 inches (38mm).
The bracket is designed for standard wall mounting; ensure your wall can support the weight and leverage.
Care:
Regularly check the V-bolt and wall fixings for tightness, especially after severe weather.
Clean the bracket and mast with a damp cloth if necessary to remove dirt or debris. The galvanized steel and aluminum are designed for weather resistance and require minimal maintenance.
