Tin/Metal Roof - Starlink Mount Roof Kit for Gen 3 - Heavy Duty

Description

Starlink Gen 3 (V4) Tin Roof Mount Kit with Heavy Duty 40mm Pole Adapter

The Spacetek Heavy Duty Tin Roof Mount Kit is designed for permanent installation of the Starlink Gen 3 (V4) rectangular terminal on corrugated metal roofing in high wind load and exposed environments. The system uses a reinforced mounting assembly combined with a heavy-duty machined aluminium Gen 3 to 40mm pole adapter, delivering increased rigidity and improved resistance to uplift and vibration.

Kit Inclusions: 

• 1 x Gen 3 Heavy Duty Aluminium Pole Adaptor Kit
• 2 x Structural Stay Bars
• 1 x Aluminium Base Plate  
• 1 x Aluminium Pole Mast (choice of length) 
• Generic Fastener Pack (please check suitability for your specific install) 

Note: Our roof mounting kits do not come with a Starlink Dish. This can be purchased from Starlink.com or a major retailer.  

Starlink Gen 3 terminals incorporate a thermal protection shut-off at approximately 50°C. The elevated pole configuration increases separation from heat-radiating metal roofing, improving airflow around the dish and reducing thermal loading during Australian summer conditions.

Multiple pole height options are available. Extended variants provide additional clearance over roof obstructions and allow space beneath the dish for secondary antennas, 4G failover equipment, point-to-point radios, or terrestrial TV hardware.

Key Features

✅ High Wind Load Design — Reinforced mounting system suited to exposed locations and wind-prone regions.

✅ Gen 3 (V4) Compatibility — Precision-engineered for the Starlink Gen 3 rectangular terminal.

✅ Heavy Duty 40 mm Pipe Adapter — Increased wall thickness and clamping surface for improved mast retention and load handling.

✅ Thermal Clearance Geometry — Elevated mounting height assists airflow and reduces roof-radiated heat contributing to 50 °C shut-off events.

✅ Extended Height Options — Longer poles improve line-of-sight and provide space for auxiliary communications equipment.

Installation Overview

1. Select a structurally sound roof location with minimal obstruction and adequate sky exposure.

2. Position the mount over rafters, battens, or verified structural members.

3. Mark and pre-drill fixing points as required.

4. Apply suitable roofing sealant to all penetration points.

5. Secure the mount using substrate-rated roofing fasteners.

6. Attach the Starlink Gen 3 terminal to the 40 mm pipe adapter.

7. Align the dish orientation and tighten the supplied grub screw.

8. Fine-tune alignment using the Starlink App if required.

📽️ Installation reference:

The tripod erection and mounting process is demonstrated in the official installation video (Gen 2 terminal shown for method reference only). The same procedure applies to Gen 3 using the supplied heavy-duty adapter.

Important Notes

⚠️ Not suitable for ground, freestanding, or portable installation.
⚠️ Roof penetrations must be sealed to prevent water ingress.
⚠️ This mount is intended for high-wind regions but must still be fixed to structurally sound roofing.
⚠️ Professional installation is strongly recommended for exposed or elevated sites.
