Sea-Dog 286560-1 Handrail Fitting, 60 Degree Center, 7/8 Inch Tube O.D., Chrome Plated Die-Cast Zinc
The Sea-Dog 286560-1 is a 60 degree center handrail fitting used to join sections of boat railing at a 60 degree angle. It is constructed of die-cast zinc with a chrome-plated finish, giving it a bright, corrosion-resistant surface suited to marine hardware applications. The fitting is sized for 7/8 inch outer diameter tubing and has a rail height of 2-1/8 inch, making it a direct match for standard 7/8 inch handrail tubing runs.
Installation can be done two ways: with set screws or by pop riveting using stainless or aluminum rivets. A 1/8 inch Allen wrench is required to tighten the set screw. Set screws are included when the fitting is purchased in its display-packed form; for bulk-packed fittings, set screws are sold separately. The fitting mounts to the boat structure using a #10 flathead fastener, which is not included. This fitting is recommended for freshwater use.
