Weather loop

mustang68 · 2007-04-30 10:33:01

I've seen a few people mention putting in a weather loop when cabling a dish, I don't think my sky installer did it. As I'm going to be rewiring (quad lnb for sky+), I want to put one in, is it just a loop in the cable near the dish to stop water, or what is it? Thanks

If you mean a drip loop, its a U-shaped bend in the cable just below where it enters the house. Its not at the dish end.
