It is sized as an insert for 3\/4 inch or 7\/8 inch OD tubing, and this version fits 7\/8 inch tube with a 1\/4 inch pin size. The insert is constructed of corrosion resistant investment cast 316 stainless steel, built for the marine environment where standard hardware corrodes and fails. The stainless tube used with this fitting has a wall thickness of 0.049 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a 1\/8 inch Allen wrench. Set screws are not included with the insert and can be purchased separately (Sea-Dog part 299999-1). The 270180-1 is sold individually, so order the quantity needed for your Bimini top frame. If a different tube size is required, Sea-Dog offers this same insert design in other sizes, including a 3\/4 inch OD version (270175-1) and a square tube version for 1 inch x 1 inch inside dimension square tubing (270191-1) commonly found on pontoon boats, as well as heavy duty and larger round-tube top caps -- these are separate part numbers, so confirm tube size and shape before ordering.\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 270180-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top Insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outer Diameter:\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\u003eTube Wall Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.049 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.16 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.75 x 1.75 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514270304\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bimini Top Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Tool Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/8 inch Allen wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sold each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tube size does the Sea-Dog 270180-1 top insert fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 270180-1 is sized as an insert for 7\/8 inch OD tubing, with a 1\/4 inch pin size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the 270180-1 top insert 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 much does the 270180-1 top insert weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.16 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tool do I need to install the 270180-1 top insert?\u003c\/strong\u003e Installation requires a 1\/8 inch Allen wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre set screws included with the Sea-Dog 270180-1 top insert?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, set screws are not included and are sold separately as Sea-Dog part 299999-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the tube wall thickness this insert is designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The stainless tubing used with the 270180-1 insert has a wall thickness of 0.049 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the function of the 270180-1 top insert on a Bimini top?\u003c\/strong\u003e It creates an attachment point and functions as a pivot point as part of a Bimini top system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 270180-1 sold as a single piece or in a set?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 270180-1 top insert is sold individually (each).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 270180-1 top insert?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 270180-1 measures 5.75 x 1.75 x 1 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a version of this insert for a different tube size?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Sea-Dog makes the same insert design for 3\/4 inch OD tubing (part 270175-1) and for 1 inch x 1 inch inside dimension square tubing (part 270191-1) used on pontoon boats -- these are separate part numbers from the 270180-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Sea-Dog 270180-1 top insert?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the 270180-1 top insert is 035514270304.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 270180-1 come with a cap for round tubing instead of an insert?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 270180-1 is the insert version for 3\/4 inch or 7\/8 inch OD tubing; Sea-Dog separately offers top caps such as the 270103 and heavy duty 270111-1 for round tubing from 7\/8 inch to 1-1\/8 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sea-Dog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988554264795,"sku":"S-D-270180-1","price":10.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/6834_8839443e-b34e-4648-9f43-f9ae2f068df1.jpg?v=1784423062","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sea-dog-270180-1-top-insert-for-7-8-tubing-1-4-pin-316-stainless-bimini-top-fitting","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
