right, but that's of the siren head and rotator. I can't see the photos, but it sounds like he's saying the standpipe was somehow holding up the entire thing, blower assembly and all.dilloncarpenter wrote:I think the Thunderbolt is self-supporting up to 10 feet.weasel2htm wrote:I never expected the standpipe to take the weight of the siren + blower like that!

Maybe he was talking about one of these:
I wouldn't be surprised if it could hold up the entire siren. That pipe's metal is real thick.

got it. that's impressive. I'm assuming the standpipe is schedule 40 steel, if so a 1/4" wall thickness should be pretty damn strong.

That is what I was talking about, I know that pipe is heavy duty, but so is that blower!dilloncarpenter wrote:Maybe he was talking about one of these:

Wait, this 1003 was single tone?! O_O
I wish we had recordings of 1003 in single tone!
