[QUOTE="Punjetas44, post: 1077871, member: 414278"] Hi a comment for what it is worth. I have used both types of F connectors and whilst the compression type is the commercially accepted product screw on items with the following" addition" are more simple for amateur use. The "addition" prior to screwing on the F connector to the co-ax; pass two lengths of shrink sleeve first. Then screw on the F connector. Add a small amount of sealant at the point where the F connector meets the co-ax outer sleeve and pass the first shrink sleeve over the sealant and over the knurled part of the F connector. Apply heat CAREFULLY to secure the sleeve. You have a choice with the 2nd piece of shrink sleeve.(1) After locking the F connector to whatever (LNB?) add some more silicone seal to the F connector and item socket (LNB ) pass the 2nd sleeve over the first and the connector nut. Secure with a tie wrap i. e. do not shrink it ..OR... CAREFULLY heat the 2nd sleeve. This applies where the item has lost; if it ever had, a rubber boot!! Regards Punjetas [/QUOTE]
