Sea-Dog Hinged Jaw Slide with Bolt, 1 Inch Base, 316 Stainless Steel, 270167-1

The Sea-Dog Hinged Jaw Slide with Bolt (270167-1) is a Bimini top hardware fitting used to attach an eye end securely to support tubing. It is used when installing a new Bimini top, adding a support arm to an existing top, or customizing a cockpit or sun deck awning. Because the fitting is hinged rather than a closed slide-on collar, it can be installed onto the tubing without having to remove the top from the boat or take off the canvas, end fitting, or straps to fit a new piece - making it especially useful for mounting on handrails or in other spots where sliding a standard fitting onto the tube is not practical.

This Hinged Jaw Slide has a 1 inch base and a 1/4 inch pin, and uses pin/screw part number 0P27001. A set screw on the back allows the fitting to be quickly and easily repositioned along the tubing once installed, and it is designed for tubing from 3/4 inch up to 1-1/8 inch, with a stainless tube wall thickness of 0.049 inch. Installation requires a 1/8 inch Allen wrench. A replacement set screw can be purchased separately as Sea-Dog part 299999-1. The fitting is constructed of corrosion resistant investment cast 316 stainless steel for durability in the marine environment.
