It clamps onto round rails measuring 7\/8 inch to 1 inch in diameter and holds a 1 inch flag staff, letting you proudly display your flag from a boat's rail rather than drilling a separate deck mount. The socket mounts perpendicular to the rail and adjusts to any angle, so the flag can be positioned to suit wind direction or personal preference. Installation is straightforward: the included thumb screw tightens the socket securely to the rail without requiring additional tools or hardware, and it can be removed just as easily when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt by Taylor Made, a name long associated with boat flags, poles, and deck hardware, the 973 is finished in a silver stainless steel that matches most rail and hardware finishes on board. It is manufactured in the USA and sized for a 5 inch by 5 inch footprint at the mount. This socket is a simple, durable way to fly a flag, burgee, or pennant from a boat's rail on any vessel with 7\/8 inch to 1 inch round rails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor Made\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 973\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRail Size Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/8 inch to 1 inch rails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlag Staff Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch flag staff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e T304 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rail mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perpendicular to rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjusts to any angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flag pole socket, thumb screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 inches L x 5 inches W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\/Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 040011115096\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits round rails measuring 7\/8 inch to 1 inch in diameter and accepts a 1 inch flag staff.
