Sea-Dog 276100-1 Top Cap Bimini Fitting, 7/8 Inch Tube, Chrome Plated Die Cast Zinc
The Sea-Dog 276100-1 Top Cap is a bimini top fitting designed to cap the end of 7/8 inch tubing on a bimini top frame. It is constructed of die cast zinc with a chrome plated finish, giving it a durable, corrosion-resistant surface with a polished look that matches other chrome bimini hardware.
This top cap can be attached to the bimini top railing in one of two ways: with set screws, or by pop riveting it in place using stainless steel or aluminum rivets. Set screws are included when the fitting is purchased in its display-packed form; if purchased in bulk, set screws are sold separately. Installation requires a 1/8 inch Allen wrench. The fitting uses a 1/4 inch pin size and is sized for 7/8 inch outer diameter tubing (stainless tubing with a 0.049 inch wall thickness).
Sea-Dog recommends this fitting for freshwater use. It is sold as bimini top hardware and is commonly paired with other Sea-Dog bimini fittings such as jaw slides and deck hinges to complete a bimini top frame assembly.
