Sea-Dog Jaw Slide with Bolt, 1 inch Tube OD, 1/4 inch Pin, 316 Stainless Steel Bimini Top Fitting

This Sea-Dog Jaw Slide with Bolt secures an eye end to Bimini top support tubing, making it a core connector for building a new Bimini top system, adding extra support arms to an existing frame, or customizing a cockpit or sun deck awning. The jaw pivots on the tube and a set screw on the back lets you slide the fitting along the tube and lock it wherever the support arm needs to attach, so you can fine-tune the angle and position of the top without cutting or redrilling the frame.

It is machined from investment cast 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in saltwater environments, and is sized for 1 inch outer diameter tubing with a 1/4 inch pin. This model fits stainless tubing with a 0.049 inch wall thickness. Installation requires a 1/8 inch Allen wrench, and matching set screws are available separately if replacements are needed. The fitting is sold per pair.
