Whitecap Industries 316 Stainless Steel Nylon Rod/Tube Flange, S-0097P

This Whitecap Industries rod/tube flange is a packaged mounting accessory built to support rod holder and tube installations on a boat. It combines 316 stainless steel with a nylon component, pairing the corrosion resistance of marine-grade stainless with the added durability and wear protection nylon provides at the mounting interface. The 316 stainless steel construction is well suited to saltwater environments, resisting rust and pitting better than lower grades of stainless steel over long-term exposure to moisture and salt spray. As a flange, it serves as the mounting collar/base component used with rod holder or tube installations, giving the installer a secure attachment point. It ships packaged and ready to install. This part is identified by Whitecap Industries part number S-0097P.
