Mac,

Fernco line.

Thank you, Tim.

It looks as if a 1056-32 or maybe even a 1056-42
pipe sleeve seal will do the the job.

The 1056-32 just above the top of the tower and a
1056-42 on the mast above the thrust bearing down
in the tower!

Now to locate this in OKC.  I suspect Locke Supply
would be a good place to start.

Hello Mac

I use a "Fernco" to protect the tops of bearings
and rotators.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a shield to
install on a 2" O.D.
mast that will keep freezing precipitation from
locking the rotating mast up in the tower tube?
