JIF Marine FVF 4.5 Inch Stainless Steel Pop Up Hinge

The JIF Marine FVF is a 4.5 inch pop up hinge built from stainless steel for durable, corrosion-resistant performance in the marine environment. This hinge is designed to fold flat when not in use and pop up into position when needed, making it a practical choice for hatches, seats, tables, and other hinged components on a boat that require a low-profile closed position and a secure raised position during use.

Constructed of stainless steel, the FVF hinge resists rust and saltwater exposure better than plated steel alternatives, helping it hold up to sun, spray, and washdowns season after season. It uses a floor mount installation, allowing it to be fastened directly to a flat mounting surface. The compact 4.5 inch size makes it suitable for smaller hinge applications where a full-length piano hinge is not needed.
