The coils for the 15 meter filter use 3/4 inch schedule 40 PVC pipe as the coil form. The form dimensions are listed below.
The coils are wound using #14 solid conductor insulated wire.
| Coil # | Pipe Size | Pipe Length | # Turns | Winding Length |
| 1, 2, 3 | 3/4 inch | 2 inches | 11-1/2 | 1.10 inches |
The length of the actual coil winding is for reference purposes.
Prepare the case.
Prepare the coils. Note L2 needs a little extra wire at the C2 end.
Mount the connectors, coil hardware, and lugs.
Mount L2 first so you can swing it to get the internal nut in place.
Mount L1 and L3.
Prepare C2 and C4 by twisting the leads and soldering the entire length.
Attach C4 to the lug at the bottom of the case and form the other end lead into a terminal as a connection point for C3 and C5.
Attach C2 to the lug on the bottom of the case. The coil lead is bent down to meet C2 and C1. Keep the coil lead parallel to the form to retain the coil turns. Then bend on a large radius down to the capacitors.
Mount the shield to two sides of the cover along the center line with four 4-40 x ¼ inch brass machine screws and nuts so that it separates the input and output coils. Drill clearance holes in the base and tap holes in the shield to secure it in place when the cover is installed.
