Sea-Dog 286565-1 Hand Rail Fitting, 60 Degree End - Left (Port), Chrome Plated Zinc, 7/8 Inch Tube

The Sea-Dog 286565-1 is a 60 degree end rail fitting made for the left (port) side of a boat's hand rail system. It terminates a rail run at a 60 degree angle and is built from die-cast zinc with a chrome plated finish for a bright, corrosion-resistant look. This fitting is designed for a 7/8 inch outer diameter rail tube and has a rail height of 2-1/8 inches, matching standard hand rail tubing sizes found on many boats.

Installation is flexible: the fitting can be secured to the rail tubing with an internal set screw, accessed and tightened with a 1/8 inch Allen wrench, or it can be pop riveted in place using stainless or aluminum rivets. It mounts to the deck or structure with #10 flat head fasteners, which are not included. This display-packed version comes with the mounting set screw included; replacement set screws are also sold separately for bulk-packed fittings. Sea-Dog recommends this fitting for freshwater use.

Because this is a left (port) specific end fitting, it is not interchangeable with the right (starboard) version. If you need to terminate a rail on the right (starboard) side, that is a separate part, Sea-Dog 286566-1, and ordering the correct side ensures the fitting angles the right way when installed.
