Will 18" T&K (with 110cm dish) give enough standoff to reach all sat's?

[jackhulk]

Hello

I'm about to purchase a 110cm dish along with 18" T&K brackets. My home faces south east and this will be a wall mount installation . Will the 18" brackets give enough stand off for my dish to reach all the sat west to east (without hitting the wall) or should I go for the 24"?

Thank you

A 110 cm dish when turned 45 degrees, will project backwards by approx 39cm.

It will also be sticking out side ways by 39cm.

A wall at 45 degrees i.e south east will project forward by 39cm, where the edge of the dish is, when at 45 degrees.
Thus to be able to go to 45 degrees on the Western side the total space between the wall and the centre of the dish needs to be approx 78cm or more (30 inches)

The motor spaces it out a bit, say 6 inches. The dish is also curved, so another few inches.

My conclusion, 18 inches too short, 24 should do it.

If in doubt, get a big piece of cardboard and try it.

I like your figures! Thank you

Think I will go with the 24" then, however, will these still as stable?

That, I don't know sorry

Although I would hope that the larger the bracket, the beefier it would be.

Suggest you use these - most T and K brackets are designed for TV aerials.

Good company. The only place I found 3" U Bolts

think you need 24 inch but it just depends what position the satellites are to your house wall

do you have a sky dish, as you can tell by looking at that if it points stright out then you should be fine on 18's but if its nearly at right angle to the wall then go for 24's to be sure

i have 24inch t&k brackets for a 90cm triax dish to get enough clearence for 42e-58west

TJExcalibur, your a star as i need some 3 inch u bolts to get my 1224 up and couldn't find any.
