The short answer: CHA HD GUY CLAMP is the two-piece mast ring used to connect the UGS three-line system to larger CFM masts. It creates a deliberate guy point without drilling or improvising attachments on the carbon-fiber tube.

What should I decide before buying?

  • Choose it for the CFM-34 or CFM-34HD path described by the UGS and mast guides.
  • Confirm the selected mast section is the documented 24-26 mm diameter at the correct guying height.
  • Use all supplied stainless hardware and three carabiners.
  • Do not treat the clamp as a lifting point, antenna bracket, or reason to exceed the mast rating.

What must match during setup?

  • The clamp is documented with CFM-34, CFM-34HD, and the UGS guy-line system.
  • Its physical diameter range does not approve every mast material or load.
  • The antenna-specific height and guying restrictions still control.
  • Do not substitute generic clamps or fasteners.

What deserves a stop and recheck?

  • Never install it on a cracked, deformed, or wrong-diameter section.
  • Do not overtighten into carbon fiber.
  • Keep hands clear while a loaded mast moves.
  • Lower the mast immediately if the clamp rotates, slips, or separates.

How should I put it away?

  • Inspect both halves, fasteners, guy holes, and carabiners.
  • Remove grit before clamping to a mast.
  • Store the matched hardware together.
  • Replace any bent, cracked, corroded, or missing component.
Use the current CHA HD GUY CLAMP instructions.
