Introduction
Sealing Method
RFS offers two types of connectors for sealing
purposes.
Plast 2000 Sealing
Plast 2000 has a very good adhesion to the metallic
parts of the connector and to the waveguide. The
curing process depends on the humidity and
temperature of the air. Under normal conditions,
sealing against moisture is accomplished in a very
short time. Plast 2000, to be purchased separately, is
supplied in tubes of 20ccm and 70ccm. The 20ccm
tube can be inserted directly into connector body. An
injection gun is recommended when installation is
carried on a large number of connectors. These
connectors have been carefully designed for excellent
VSWR performance without the use of any tuning
screws. Model numbers on these connectors end with
a letter P" to designate the use of Plast 2000 sealing.
Exception all connectors with gasket and shrinking
sleeves for E250, E300 and E380 series as well as all
overmoded waveguides.
Gasket Sealing
In this design, the connector is sealed between the
backnut and the waveguide with a conical shaped
threaded gasket. The threaded gasket is held in place
with an internal pressure plate to create a gas tight
waveguide assembly that will not leak even if the
waveguide is flexed near the connector. A seal
between the connector backnut and the waveguide
transition is achieved with a specially shaped flat
gasket that encompasses the waveguide flare and
connector bolt holes. Careful dimensional tolerances
assure a safe contact between the flare and the
waveguide transition, which includes a 1/8 NPT
female pressure inlet and plug. A heat shrink boot is
supplied for application over the elliptical waveguide
and the connector backnut to provide strain relief and
additional weatherproofing. Model number on these
connectors end with a letter G" for designation of
gasket sealing.
Quick and Easy to Install
FLEXWELL waveguide connectors are designed for
quick and easy assembly in the field using either
standard hand tools or flanging tools depending on
connector type.

Connector Types
FLEXWELL elliptical
waveguide connectors are
available in standard (nontuneable), tuneable pre-tuned
and fixed tuned versions.
Fixed tuned connectors are
available only with
pressurized flanges (P-type).
U-type flanges can be
provided by the use of a
shim.
FLEXWELL connectors
are offered with
interface to EIA and
IEC standard waveguide
flanges.
Waveguide Splices
Electrically compensated elliptical
waveguide splices, which do not degrade
system performance, are available for field repairs of
damaged waveguide runs. The construction and
assembly of the waveguide splice is similar to the
waveguide connector design.

Hangers
Radio Frequency Systems offers three types of
hangers:
Standard (non insulated) hanger
Universal Clamps
RSB clips
Standard Hanger Kit (Non-Insulated), CLAMP
Stainless steel hangers are available to fix elliptical
waveguides to tower. Hanger spacing is depending on
waveguide size. Hanger may be attached to angle
adapters, tower standoffs, member mounting holes
with up to 3/8"-16 hardware or to round member
adapters through slot in the hanger. 10/pkg
Universal Clamps, CLAMP-R
The universal clamp can be used for the installation of
FLEXWELL elliptical waveguides for proper and secure
Universal Clamps
tension. The clamps can be used as universal device
for mounting of waveguide on any profile. Hot
galvanized steel clamps are available for E30 to E220
waveguides.
All clamps are provided with a rubber clamp lining to
secure a proper installation and to avoid any damage
of the waveguide. The clamps can be fixed on
different profiles. Suitable fixing hardware is
available. 10/pkg

Hoisting Grips
Hoisting grips are used to distribute the force
introduced into a waveguide when hoisted using a
winch which is usually the case when waveguide size
and/or length lead to an overall weight that cannot be
operate manually. They consists of a wire mesh and
hold the waveguide by means of friction over the
complete length when pulled.
Two types are available for each waveguide size; the
closed version -used when the top connector is
installed after the waveguide is hoisted- and the open
version used in case where the top connector is
installed prior to hoisting the waveguide. Also in the
later case the closed version might be used if it shall
be left on the waveguide replacing the top cable
clamp. Waveguide with factory-installed connectors
can be delivered with pre-installed hoisting grips on
customer request. The maximum hoisting length per
grip is 70 m (230 ft). 1/pkg
