Sea-Dog 286160-1 Rectangular Base Rail Fitting, 60-Degree, 7/8 Inch Tube

The Sea-Dog 286160-1 is a 60-degree rectangular base rail fitting designed to join angled sections of 7/8 inch outer diameter stainless steel tubing on boat handrails, bow rails, and stanchion systems. The rectangular base measures 1-5/8 inches by 2-3/4 inches and mounts to the deck using #10 flat head fasteners (not included), making it well suited for rail runs along flat or rectangular mounting surfaces where a round base would not sit flush.

Construction is chrome plated die cast zinc, giving the fitting a bright, corrosion-resistant finish that matches other chrome rail hardware on the boat. The fitting is recommended for freshwater use. Tubing attaches to the fitting using set screws, which are included when the fitting is sold in a display-packed configuration; for bulk-packed fittings, set screws are sold separately under part number 299999-1. Installation and adjustment of the set screws requires a 1/8 inch Allen wrench. The fitting is sized for 7/8 inch OD stainless tubing with a wall thickness of 0.049 inches, a common gauge for boat handrail and lifeline tubing.

This is a rigid 60-degree fixed-angle fitting rather than an adjustable joint, so it is best used where the rail geometry is already known to require a 60-degree bend. It pairs with Sea-Dog's broader line of round and rectangular base rail fittings offered in 45-degree, 60-degree, and 90-degree angles for building out a complete custom rail system.
