Sea-Dog Jaw Slide with Bolt, 7/8 Inch Tube, 316 Stainless Steel Bimini Fitting, Part 270160-1

The Sea-Dog 270160-1 Jaw Slide with Bolt is an investment cast 316 stainless steel fitting used to attach an eye end securely to Bimini top support tubing. It is designed for boat owners installing a new Bimini top, adding extra support arms to an existing frame, or customizing a cockpit or sun deck awning. The jaw slide fits over tubing with a 7/8 inch outer diameter and uses a 1/4 inch pin. A set screw on the back of the fitting lets you quickly and easily reposition the slide along the tube wherever it is needed, making it simple to fine-tune the geometry of a Bimini frame without removing the tube. This non-hinged style slides directly onto the tube, unlike Sea-Dog's hinged jaw slide, which is intended for mounting on handrails or in spots where sliding a fitting onto the tube is not possible or convenient. Built from investment cast 316 stainless steel, the fitting resists corrosion in the marine environment and stands up to sun and saltwater exposure over years of use. The fitting includes a bolt as part of the Jaw Slide with Bolt design. A matching set screw is available separately under part number 299999-1 for buyers who need replacements.
