The Starlink Pipe Adapter is an official accessory from Starlink that allows you to attach your dish to any pole, mast, or J-mount. It’s a simple piece of hardware that gives you a lot of flexibility in where you can mount your Starlink dish.

The Pipe Adapter is made completely out of metal. It’s lightweight but feels solid and strong. There are 6 threaded holes that accept the included set screws. These set screws tighten down onto the pole where you are installing your Starlink dish. The longer set screws are for smaller diameter poles, and the shorter set screws are for larger poles.

The Starlink Pipe Adapter kit contains the following items:

• Pipe Adapter
• Cable clamps
• Set screws (12 total, 6 of each size)
• Allen wrench
• Starlink carrying bag
• Instructions

Installation

Step 1 – Choose and install the set screws:

Depending on the diameter of the pole you are mounting to, choose the longer or shorter set screws, and screw them into all 6 holes on the Pipe Adapter. If your pole is 2 inches in diameter or more, use the shorter set screws. I recommend the longer set screws for any pole that is less than 2 inches. You just need to get them started, no need to thread them in all the way. You’ll want to leave plenty of room for the adapter to slide over the pole

Step 2 – Mount the Pipe Adapter onto the pole:

Slide the Pipe Adapter down onto the top of your pole. In my case, I’m using a J-mount that has a diameter of about 1.5 inches. I left plenty of wiggle room by not threading the set screws in very far.
The pole and the adapter need to be within about 4 degrees of vertical for the Starlink dish to operate properly. Once you are sure the Pipe Adapter is sitting correctly on the pole, start by tightening just the three top set screws. Do a few turns on one set screw, then the next, and repeat until they are snug. Double check that the Pipe Adapter is still centered and level on the pole, and that it hasn’t shifted up.

Repeat the process for the bottom three set screws. Once all set screws are snug, check again to be sure the Pipe Adapter is centered and secure on the pole. If it is, do a final round of tightening for each set screw.

Step 3 – Mount the Starlink dish:

Use the included carrying bag to carry your Starlink dish to the installation location. Be sure you also have the Starlink cable nearby, as you will need to plug in the dish side connector before mounting the dish. Remember, the dish side connector is straight, the router side is angled.

Depending on what type of pole/mount you are using, you can route the cable inside, through the Pipe Adapter. Or you can just run it down the outside of the Pipe Adapter and mounting pole.

Plug in the Starlink cable into the dish, making sure it is seated all the way in. The cable connector will sit flush with the edge of the mast. Now install the dish. The dish mast will slide right into the Pipe Adapter. You might have to spin the dish around to find where it slots into place.

Step 4 – Route the Starlink cable:

Now you just need to do some cable management. Use the included cable clamps to route the Starlink cable down the side of your house, if desired. It’s also a good idea to secure the Starlink cable with zip ties.

Plug the other end of the Starlink cable into the router and power everything up. Give your Starlink system about 15 minutes to boot up, and then check to make sure you can get online. Your dish will gather information on obstructions for the next 12 hours or so. Check the app the next day to make sure you don’t have any obstructions affecting the performance of your connection.
