Display-packed versions of these fittings already include their set screws, but bulk-packed fittings do not, so this screw is sold separately to complete the installation. It threads into the fitting body and its cone-point tip bites into the railing tube to lock the fitting in place, an alternative to pop riveting with stainless or aluminum rivets. Installation is done with a 1\/8 inch Allen wrench turning the screw's hex socket drive down onto the tube surface. Built from 304-grade stainless steel, the screw resists corrosion in marine environments and matches the chrome-plated die-cast zinc fittings it is used with. At a fraction of an ounce, it is a small, inexpensive but essential hardware component for anyone installing or servicing Sea-Dog bulk rail fittings on their boat.\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 299999-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4-28 inch UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cone Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hex Socket, requires 1\/8 inch Allen wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel (Grade 304)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.024 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514299015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSea-Dog bulk-packed handrail fittings, including 60 degree end fittings, 5-1\/2 degree blend bases, 90 degree tees, 90 degree elbows, and 110 degree bow forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot needed for display-packed fittings, which already include their set screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sea-Dog 299999-1 set screw used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It secures Sea-Dog bulk-packed handrail fittings, such as rail tees, elbows, bow forms, and blend bases, onto boat railing tubing so the fitting stays locked in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need this set screw if I bought display-packed rail fittings?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Display-packed Sea-Dog rail fittings already include their set screws; the 299999-1 is only needed to supply a set screw for bulk-packed fittings, which are sold without one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thread size is the Sea-Dog 299999-1 set screw?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a 1\/4-28 inch UNC thread, 3\/16 inch long, with a cone point tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tool do I need to install this set screw?\u003c\/strong\u003e A 1\/8 inch Allen wrench is required to drive the 299999-1 set screw into the hex socket and tighten it against the railing tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Sea-Dog 299999-1 set screw made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from 304-grade stainless steel, giving it corrosion resistance suited to marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this set screw weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 299999-1 weighs 0.024 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this set screw be used instead of pop rivets on rail fittings?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
