Whitecap Top-Mounted Flag Pole Socket - Stainless Steel - 1" ID

The Whitecap Top-Mounted Flag Pole Socket in stainless steel is a marine-grade mounting solution designed for secure flag installation on boats, RVs, decks, and outdoor structures. Built for those who require reliable, corrosion-resistant hardware in saltwater and harsh environments, this top-mounted socket eliminates the need for permanent holes while providing professional-grade stability. Whether you're outfitting a commercial vessel, securing patriotic displays, or mounting signals on waterfront property, this fixture delivers durability where standard fasteners fail.

Constructed from 316 stainless steel—the superior marine-grade alloy—this socket accommodates 1-inch inside diameter poles and features a 2¾-inch base footprint with a 2⅛-inch height for optimal leverage and minimal profile. The design includes three #10 fastener holes for secure deck or rail mounting, ensuring the pole cannot shift under wind load or rough water conditions. Each socket comes equipped with ¼-28 set screws (included, part number 6249) that grip the pole from the side, preventing rotation and maintaining alignment even in demanding maritime conditions where vibration and salt spray continuously challenge hardware integrity.

This top-mounted configuration works best for applications where poles need quick removal—essential for boat owners who stow flags during rough seas or trailerboat operators requiring fast setup and breakdown. The compact 0.5-pound weight makes installation manageable, while the stainless steel construction resists rust, corrosion, and UV degradation for 5+ years of reliable service. Compatible with any 1-inch diameter flagpole, this socket is ideal for boating enthusiasts, marine facilities, RV owners, and homeowners seeking professional-grade outdoor hardware that withstands coastal salt air and freshwater spray without maintenance.
