It is built for boat owners installing a new Bimini top, adding extra support arms to an existing frame, or customizing a cockpit or sun deck awning. Unlike a standard slide-on jaw slide, this version is hinged, so it can be mounted on handrails or in other applications where sliding the fitting onto the end of the tubing is not possible or convenient. A set screw on the back of the fitting lets you quickly and easily adjust where it sits on the tubing once installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is sized for 7\/8 inch tubing with a 1\/4 inch pin, and it is rated for stainless tube with a wall thickness of 0.049 inch. It is constructed of investment cast 316 stainless steel, giving it strong resistance to marine corrosion. Installation requires only a 1\/8 inch Allen wrench. Replacement set screws are available separately under part number 299999-1 if the original set screw is lost or worn.\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 270166-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hinged Jaw Slide with Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase\/Tube Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Investment cast 316 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Stainless Tube Wall Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.049 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 x 6 x 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.314 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514270670\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Tool Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/8 inch Allen wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 7\/8 inch diameter support tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for handrail mounting or locations where a slide-on fitting cannot be used\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size tubing does the Sea-Dog 270166-1 Hinged Jaw Slide fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e This fitting is sized for 7\/8 inch diameter support tubing and uses a 1\/4 inch pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between this hinged jaw slide and a standard jaw slide?\u003c\/strong\u003e A standard jaw slide is designed to slide onto the open end of a tube, while the 270166-1 Hinged Jaw Slide opens on a hinge so it can be mounted on handrails or in spots where the tube end is not accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 270166-1 Jaw Slide made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of investment cast 316 stainless steel, which resists corrosion in marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you install the Sea-Dog Hinged Jaw Slide?\u003c\/strong\u003e Installation requires only a 1\/8 inch Allen wrench to tighten the set screw that secures the fitting to the tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the position of the fitting be adjusted after installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, a set screw on the back of the 270166-1 allows you to loosen it and slide or reposition the fitting along the tubing as needed, then retighten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the 270166-1 part number weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog Hinged Jaw Slide with Bolt weighs 0.314 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum stainless tube wall thickness this fitting works with?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is rated for stainless tube with a wall thickness of 0.049 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre replacement set screws available for this fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, replacement set screws for the 270166-1 Hinged Jaw Slide are sold separately under part number 299999-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this fitting used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 270166-1 Hinged Jaw Slide with Bolt is used as part of a Bimini top system, whether installing a new top, adding support arms to an existing frame, or customizing a cockpit or sun deck awning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose a hinged jaw slide instead of a regular one?\u003c\/strong\u003e Because it opens on a hinge, the Sea-Dog 270166-1 can be fitted onto handrails or other locations where a slide-on style jaw slide cannot be installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 270166-1 fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog Hinged Jaw Slide with Bolt measures 8 x 6 x 4 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sea-Dog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988554232027,"sku":"S-D-270166-1","price":30.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/7129_d3deff29-e7f4-4ca7-aee6-1de0bfc90db0.jpg?v=1784423049","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sea-dog-270166-1-hinged-jaw-slide-with-bolt-7-8-tubing-316-stainless-steel-bimini-top-slide-fitting","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
