Coax and Hot Water Pipe Question

[peq387ab]

I just recently ran new LMR 400 coax and moved my shack into a new area of the house and have a question regarding coax and a copper hot water pipe. My coax runs over the copper pipe which is for my baseboard hot water heater. What are some suggestions to mitigate that so I don’t damage the coax from heat?

Get a piece of foam insulation for the pipe. Readily available at Lowes, Home Depot, etc. slips on over the pipe. Problem solved.

Thank you! Presuming that my local hardware store would have that as well, since I don’t live close to any major retailers.

Ace and True-Value carry it. I would expect most do.

check the size of the pipe and get the right size insulation. Most likely it is 3/4” but could be 1”.

Got a Menard's or Fleet Farm?

Got a pool noddle hanging around by the pool? Cut it in half and duct tape it to the pipe
