FAQs
What type of wall fixings do I need?
The kit does not include wall fixings. You must select fixings appropriate for your wall type (e.g., brick, concrete, wood, cavity wall) and the weight of the aerial and mast assembly. Consult a hardware professional if unsure.
What is the maximum mast diameter this kit can support?
The kit supports masts with an external diameter of up to 38mm (1.5 inches).
How far does the bracket extend from the wall?
The bracket itself protrudes 305mm (12 inches) from the wall. However, due to the mounting hole positions, the mast will be approximately 235mm (9.25 inches) away from the wall surface.
Is the mast sectional or a single piece?
The product description indicates a single 3.05m (10ft) aluminum mast.
Can I use this kit for satellite dishes?
This kit is primarily designed for TV aerials. While the mast diameter might be compatible with some smaller satellite dish mounts, the bracket's design and strength may not be suitable for the wind loading of a satellite dish. It is recommended to use equipment specifically designed for satellite dish mounting.
What is the warranty on this product?
Please refer to the retailer or Loops official website for specific warranty information, as warranty terms can vary.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
You will need basic tools such as a drill, appropriate drill bits for your wall type, a spirit level, and wrenches or spanners to tighten the V bolts and any fixings you purchase.
Troubleshooting
Poor signal after installation
Ensure the aerial is correctly oriented towards the transmitter. Check that all connections are secure and that the mast is perfectly vertical. Re-evaluate the aerial's height and position to overcome local obstructions.
Bracket feels loose on the wall
The issue is likely with the wall fixings. Remove the bracket, inspect the wall, and use more appropriate or additional fixings. Ensure the wall surface is sound.
Mast is not held securely by V bolts
Ensure the mast diameter is within the 11mm-38mm range. Tighten the V bolts firmly around the mast. If the mast is at the lower end of the diameter range, consider adding a shim to help the V bolts grip.
Rust appearing on the bracket
While galvanized steel is resistant to rust, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can eventually cause surface rust. This is usually cosmetic and does not affect structural integrity. For significant rust, consider applying a rust-inhibiting paint suitable for galvanized surfaces.
