[TowerTalk] I.C.E. Products waterproofing

[Alan C. Zack]

I have just received my recent order of I.C.E. coax Suppressors 
including the Model 349 Rotor control wire protector.
I will be installing these at the base of my tower using the ICE 318-4 
mounting fixture.  My tower is grounded using a linked three point 
(120 degree) 10 ft ground rod UFER ground system.

Since the suppressors will be exposed to the elements I wonder if some 
of you may share the methods you may use to waterproof the coax and 
rotor cable screw connections.  My plan is to coat the connections 
with a product called liquid tape then cover them with the commercial 
grade of coax-seal.  Would anyone have experience on how this method 
holds up to ultraviolet exposure that is part of living in the 
cloudless skies of the Las Vegas valley?

TIA & 73
