1st problem with the Ista Breeze I1500 

Bro you forgot yer link to your channel. Great channel ru-vid.com

Thanks, I do have a couple of vids I made on the tower.

I didn't realized it until later but they actually make an adaptor for this damn thing.

@@veggitarianredneck I might get one of these to supplement my PV at night. From what I can see it seems you need a heavy sleeve over the pipe because those threads won't hold in that thickness of pipe. (Schedule 40?)

Tower is 30 feet

Like you said "the tower is not built for beauty contest" but everything worked out pretty well. Excellent job well done to you and the misses 👏👏👏👍

Thank you very much. You have some cool vids too there brother. I'm subbed 😎

@@veggitarianredneck Thanks buddy. I am getting into a new phase of renewable energy with my first wind turbine iSTA BREEZE i2000 Watts 48V @ 40A

Loctite is probably fine

Well see, but I really like your idea of slotting it, thank you for that wisdom.

It's made by Jensen USA. It's perfect for me and it's easily towable 😎. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@@veggitarianredneck Nope not Jensen but Jansen, but close lol, greetings from a Dane living in Bulgaria and i have bought the IstaBreeze® WindSafe 2000 watt, but haven't set it up yet🙂

Makes me become interested in Thread lock. =)

Not sure

It's made by Jenson USA

You don't know just how right you are. I'll put the details together in a future video

@@veggitarianredneck i`ve never seen those kind of tensioners before but they look like a nightmare to adjust compared to turnbuckles. You did a great job on the mast, one man job with the gin pole and electric winch.

@@JohnGuest45 they were a pain just like you suspected. I swapped them out for turnbuckles, way better.

Schedule 40 pipe, and the tower is 30 feet high.

@@veggitarianredneck Couple more questions if you dont mind. What size is your pipe, 1 1/2" or 2"? Did you screw the joints together or weld them? I have solar that takes care of my off grid house probably 85% of the time. After 2 1/2 days of cloudy rainy weather the batteries usually need to be recharged. During these times I always have 20mph winds as I live up on a Pass. Just need to take advantage of that wind. I like your tower set up and thinking about building something similar to put up on the ridge.

@@larrymoore5811 Hey no problem. So I used 1 1/2 pipe but looking back I should have used 2" pipe. I have a video showing how I reinforced it. I initially screwed the pipe together which would have worked out just fine but my tower wires were not tight enough and one of the couplers broke sending the whole thing to the ground. So the upper most coupler I eventually welded.

@@veggitarianredneck OffGrid, what has been your experience with the Ista turbine? Been looking at them for a while. I have noticed many good reviews and also some bad. I would like to know your opinion after having yours in service for quite some time.

@@larrymoore5811 My opinion is quite good with them. I think they are really well built and I would definitely recommend them.

That's sorta what I did, but I used a couple of muffler clamps.
