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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taco Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e F11-0177S-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ball\/Socket 7\/8 Inch Top Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bimini Top Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Tube Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ball and socket top cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e One size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.25 x 4 x 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.20625 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size tube does this top cap fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Taco Marine top cap, part number F11-0177S-1, fits 7\/8 inch diameter tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat style of end cap is this?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a ball and socket style top cap, designed to give a rounded, finished termination at the end of a bimini top frame tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the F11-0177S-1 top cap made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e This top cap is made from plastic, chosen for its resistance to corrosion in a marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this top cap?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Taco Marine F11-0177S-1 top cap measures 5.25 x 4 x 1.5 inches overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this top cap weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The F11-0177S-1 top cap weighs 0.20625 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many caps come in one order?\u003c\/strong\u003e One order includes a single Taco Marine top cap, F11-0177S-1, sold as one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this top cap sold in a specific color?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Taco Marine F11-0177S-1 top cap is not offered in a distinct color option; it comes in its standard molded plastic finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this top cap used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is used to cap off the end of 7\/8 inch bimini top or canopy frame tubing, providing a clean, finished appearance and covering the open tube end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine Taco Marine part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this is a genuine Taco Marine top cap, identified by part number F11-0177S-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this cap fit tubing other than 7\/8 inch?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the F11-0177S-1 top cap is sized specifically for 7\/8 inch tube and is not intended for other tube diameters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taco Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031443874011,"sku":"TAC-F11-0177S-1","price":34.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/518ER5dNH1L.jpg?v=1785214202","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/taco-marine-top-cap-for-7-8-inch-tube-ball-and-socket-bimini-top-hardware","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
