Unlike a fixed-angle tee, the hinged design lets the two branch tubes pivot to match the exact rail angle on your boat, making it a practical solution where deck geometry does not fall on a standard fixed angle. It is machined from investment-cast 316 stainless steel, giving it strong resistance to saltwater corrosion and long-term exposure to marine environments, and it is sized for 7\/8 inch O.D. Tube with a stainless tube wall thickness of 0.049 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation uses set screws, which are included where appropriate for this fitting, and a 1\/8 inch Allen wrench is required to tighten them and secure the tubing in place. Additional set screws can be purchased separately if needed. The fitting weighs 0.59 pounds and ships in a compact package measuring approximately 5.81 x 3.88 x 1.5 inches, making it easy to keep on hand as a spare for handrail repairs or new rail builds.\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 290603-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 Degree Hinged Rail Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube O.D.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/8 inch\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\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Investment cast 316 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corrosion resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.59 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.81 x 3.88 x 1.5 inches\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\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set screws where appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514290135\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFits 7\/8 inch O.D.
