The rail features 1 inch outer diameter tubing sized for a comfortable hand grip, and its surface mount base design allows it to be located quickly and conveniently on a flat mounting surface without the need for through-hull hardware. The handrail measures 12 inches overall (A) with an 11 inch base to base span (B), a 2-7\/16 inch mounting height (C), and a 1-1\/2 inch base width (D), making it a compact option for smaller mounting areas compared to the longer versions in the same Sea-Dog handrail series. Installation is straightforward: each base mounts with two 5\/16 inch flat head fasteners (fasteners are not included and must be purchased separately). The formed 304 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in marine environments, holding up to sun, salt spray, and washdown without pitting or discoloring like lower grade steel. At 0.43 pounds, it is light enough for easy handling during installation while still providing a rigid, dependable grip surface. This handrail is a straightforward, functional upgrade for anyone adding a secure handhold to a boat deck, swim platform, companionway, or walkway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 254312-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outer Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (A):\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase to Base Distance (B):\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight (C):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Width (D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16 inch FH (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surface Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Sea-Dog 254312-1 handrail?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 254312-1 measures 12 inches overall (A dimension), with an 11 inch base to base distance (B), a 2-7\/16 inch mounting height (C), and a 1-1\/2 inch base width (D).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is this handrail made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is formed from 304 stainless steel with a stainless finish, chosen for corrosion resistance in marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the tube diameter of the grip?\u003c\/strong\u003e The handrail tubing has a 1 inch outer diameter, sized for a comfortable hand grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre mounting fasteners included with the 254312-1 handrail?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, fasteners are not included.
