Sea-Dog Folding D-Ring 2-1/8 Inch, 316 Stainless Steel Base, 3,500 lb Breaking Strength
Sea-Dog Folding D-Ring 2-1/8 Inch, 316 Stainless Steel Base, 3,500 lb Breaking Strength
The Sea-Dog Folding D-Ring (048610-1) is a deck hardware fitting that folds flat against its base when not in use, keeping the D-ring out of the way and reducing snag hazards on deck. It is built for rigging and tie-down applications where a secure attachment point is needed but a permanently upright ring would be a tripping or snagging risk.
The base is investment cast from corrosion resistant 316 stainless steel, while the D-ring itself is made from 17-4 PH stainless steel for added strength and spring-back. A rubber gasket seats beneath the base to help seal the mounting surface. The base measures 2-1/8 inches (dimension A) with a 1-3/16 inch dimension B, a 1/4 inch dimension C, a 7/8 inch dimension D, and a 1-1/2 inch fully raised dimension E. The unit has a rated breaking strength of 3,500 pounds. It installs with a 1/4 inch flat head fastener (fastener not included), and each unit weighs 0.2 pounds.
