- Helping to show what is in the new Pipe Adapter kit from starlink. Costs only $25 and free shipping. Looks to be of very high quality and comes with the backpack sleeve for hauling the dish onto the roof, needed screws and a box of 40 cable management clips.
The cross bar inside the mount is to prevent your mounting pole from going to far up and touching the dish
that makes since :)
As an engineer, get rid of the spring retaining clip, it simply pops out and use a BOLT. The retaining clip has plastic snaps that will sheer in a high wind.
Could you tell me what the width is on the pipe coming out of the dish is. If it’s up on your roof don’t worry about it I was just wondering.
It tapered portion of the Dish tube has an O.D. of 1.4 in.
If you have a pi box, then maybe get some software to run a pinging service to a server on the internet (24 7), maybe every 30 seconds and that should give you an idea of the drops out, and seeing if they show a pattern, of lost packets per day.
Over time you will get an idea as hopefully the number of packets lost per day decreases as the coverage improves.
Or you can use the built in ping test
I ordered my dish. It hasn't been delivered. where do you order the pipe adapter? Cant locate it on their site. You help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to assemble the video
Same here. I've ordered mine but not received it yet. Also tried to find the mount kit but haven't found it. Maybe someone on here can tell us.
Diameter ? Of the adapter what size pipe will it take largest ??
Does that mean you can put any pipe of maximum diameter of 2.5”??
Correct, I wouldn’t go too small, just because of the force from wind blowing on it would overpower a 1” pipe potentially.
Please provide a link for the Star Link Pipe adapter kit.
Unfortunately you have to log in to the Starlink site to access it so there isn’t a way. I’ll check though to see if they have changed up their site
hi
what is the length of the two long cables in the kit?
many thanks for the videos

The Cables are 100 ft. each...
Is the Starlink pole diameter compatible with other satellite mounting equipment like direct TV? Wonder if I pick up a J-mount mast for a slope roof if it will connect to the Sarlink pole.
I think it would work just fine, depends on the type but as long as you have a few inches of pipe to connect to and its secure and a clear view of the northern sky you should be just fine
The Starlink pole where the snap connectors are located is 1.4" in diameter. I used a very rigid 2" T6061 Structural Aluminum Pole with 0.25 in. walls and a I.D of 1.5 in. I then cut a sheet of plastic out of a 2 liter bottle and 3 in. wide and wrapped around the Starlink pole to give me an extremely tight fit within my pipe. As an engineer, I would highly suggest that you remove the little plastic retaining clip and use a 1/2 in. bolt through the pipe. The plastic clips are not structural and it is my opinion that in heavy wind they will sheer off. As an engineer I prefer a mechanical fastener to secure the Starlink to the pole.
If you haven't installed the the pipe mount would you please measure the inside diameter of the large end?
sry this took so long, couldn't find my tape measure. The inside diameter of the large end is 2.5" exactly, might need a pip an 1/8" smaller than that, could be a tight squeeze.
@@adventureswithkramer Thank you. That means that the largest pipe you can use 2" pipe which has an OD of 2-3/8".
I did not use the Starlink Pipe Adaptor. The Starlink tube where the snap connectors are located is 1.4" in diameter. I inserted the Starlink tube into the inside of a heavier tube. I used a very rigid 2" T6061 Structural Aluminum Pole with 0.25 in. walls and a I.D of 1.5 in. I then cut a sheet of plastic out of a 2 liter bottle and 3 in. wide and wrapped around the Starlink pole to give me an extremely tight fit within my pipe.

What is the range in pipe size that this adapter will fit? Doing my homework for the future so I will be ready to go. Enjoy your videos.
2.5” max diameter
@@adventureswithkramer thanks! Much appreciated.
@@charlesgreene9434 you are welcome :)
Is this intended to be used on septic vent pipes and other such pipes on your roof? Or just on existing satellite dish pipes from DTV, Dish, etc like you're going to try to mount to? Thanks Kramer
@@richardpasha9332 I would not use this on a septic vent, could cause lots of other issues. More for old mounts or I am thinking people putting their own metal pole in concrete out from their house, or on a chain link fence post.
What is the ID on the top of the Pole Mount where the Starlink drops in?
For those that need to know. the lower piece of the Starlink tube where the spring retaining clips are located has a diameter of 1.4".
Do you have the Link for the Pipe Adapter so I can order one from Starlink?
First Thank you for your vids and Info, I've ordered my Starlink dish and I live in South Texas, Question will I need Two Pipe adapters I'm assuming one for each end ??
Thanks Time!
I belive the adapter has one slot for the leg of the dish, and the other end you mount onto a pole on/near your house. The adapter is so the leg of the dish can be mounted onto different sizes of poles
As an engineer I like mechanical fasteners. Simply tightening three bolts into a pipe just does not do it for me. I used an T6061 Aluminum Tube with 0.25 in. walls, but you could use a steel pipe with a 1.43 in. to 1.50 in. I.D. I then removed the retaining clip, cut a 3 in. wide band out of a 2 liter bottle and wrapped it around the pole on the dish until I had a tight fit inside my pipe (mounting pole). Ran a bolt through and it is going no where... It is extremely rigid.
are they hex screws? 3mm?
Would this adapt to an existing Directv pole?
Depends on the dish setup, but if you can get to just the pole and have the starlink dish be high enough above stuff then you should be golden. One thing to look out for is that most old satellites 📡 faced SOUTH and starlink needs to face NORTH.
How long did it take to show up from the time you ordered it?
Less than a week, I did have one kit take over 2 weeks but this was early on and a lot less people using starlink, I think they might be a little overwhelmed at the moment.
I'm building a house, would like to wire the house for starlink...what type of wire do I need...or what does the cable ends look like? What type of connection?
Cat5e is the cable, the type of connection is some kind of new standard. Search the starlink Reddit page and it should show up there. Sry I couldn’t help more.
@@adventureswithkramer Thank you! I've learned a lot already from watching your videos. Thanks again!
@@adambucher8924 You are welcome, if there is anything else I can help with don't hesitate to ask, happy to help.
If you are wiring a new house do not use Cat 5e. Cat 5e will not support Gb Technology. If you are building a new house I would install a quality brand Cat7 Cable.
@@michaelholliday100 I installed cat 6....they already put up the drywall
What are the inside diameter of the adapter?
2.5” exactly, so need just slightly smaller of a pipe.
Where does one order the adapter can you provide a link for the retail site. Thank you very much
Do you already have an account with starlink? Only way to access it is by having an account.
Login to your Starlink account. The mounting options are available for sale there once you login, they were at the bottom of my page.
@@wendythomas4731 I'm sorry, I don't see that anywhere. ????? Maybe they sold out??? I have an account.
@@richardwalker4903 When I login on my computer and go to My Account, it shows my order on the right. On the LEFT down below the Make a Payment button there's a section marked "Purchase Additional Mounts" that lists the Pipe Adapter, Cable Routing Kit, and Roof Mount choices there. (I will note when you buy the Pipe Adapter, it comes with a baggie of 40 plastic with screws cable mounts to help you route your cabling)
@@wendythomas4731 Thank you so much for your reply! But, that's not showing up on mine. I'm on the waiting list, so I guess I'll wait to see if it is offered when they ship. Or, I'll just make my own :)
OK, so where can i order it from?
Have to wait until you have a full account, pre-orders won’t unlock the extra stuff that you can buy.
Maybe I would want to install the pole and mount, prior to receiving the dish, so that I would be ready to go on the first day
@@markrobinson8539 That definitely seems like an oversight on Starlink's part. I know where I want to put this thing and want to have the pole ready when it arrives.
Do you have the link where you bought the adapter? Trying to find it, thx
It only shows up on your starlink account, do you have an account?
@@adventureswithkramer yes I just got order confirmation of the dish but can’t find that mounting kit on the site
@@masteraquarius747 sometimes when they are out of stock they just remove it from the site temporarily, sry :( try getting in touch with support.
@@masteraquarius747 Same. I'm trying to get ready for Dishy and the pipe adapter is nowhere to be found.
