Taco Marine Top Cap for 7/8 Inch Tube, Ball and Socket Bimini Top Hardware

This Taco Marine top cap is a ball and socket style end cap designed to fit 7/8 inch tube, used to finish off the end of bimini top and canopy frame tubing. It is molded from durable plastic to withstand marine sun and spray exposure while providing a clean, finished look at the tube end. The ball and socket design allows the cap to be used where a rounded, low-profile termination is needed on bimini top frames, T-tops, and similar canopy tubing assemblies.

The cap is sold as a single piece and measures 5.25 x 4 x 1.5 inches overall, making it a compact hardware component rather than a structural fitting. Its plastic construction keeps it lightweight while resisting the corrosion that can affect metal end caps in a saltwater environment. This top cap is intended as a direct component for boat owners and canvas shops maintaining or building out bimini top frames that use standard 7/8 inch diameter tubing.
