How does the 401AL attach to my roof or cupola?

• Includes stainless steel screws suitable for exterior use on wood surfaces.
• Adjustable tube alignment for different roof pitches and cupola faces.

What size weathervane pole does this mount accept and support?

The 401AL accepts poles up to 3/4" in diameter, which covers most standard and small weathervanes. The internal diameter and securing method are engineered for a firm fit so the vane remains steady in typical wind conditions.

• Fits weathervane poles up to 3/4" diameter (standard size for many decorative vanes).
• Compatible with Good Directions standard-size weathervanes and many third-party models.
