Whitecap Bullet End - 316 Stainless Steel - 7/8" Tube O.D.

The Whitecap Bullet End – 316 Stainless Steel – 7/8" Tube O.D. is a precision-engineered marine-grade hardware component designed to cap and finish 7/8-inch tubing with a rounded, aerodynamic profile. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this bullet end delivers superior corrosion resistance in harsh saltwater and coastal environments where standard stainless grades fail. The compact 7/8-inch length provides a clean, finished appearance while maintaining structural integrity in demanding applications.

316 stainless steel offers enhanced molybdenum content compared to 304-grade alloys, making it ideal for offshore, marine, and salt-air exposure where chloride corrosion accelerates degradation of lower-grade metals. The bullet-end design minimizes sharp edges while providing a finished terminal point, eliminating the need for additional end caps or welding. This Whitecap part (MPN 6229C) fits standard 7/8-inch outer diameter tubing and integrates seamlessly into railings, stanchions, handrails, and structural trim applications across marine vessels, coastal installations, and outdoor industrial equipment.

Boatbuilders, marine contractors, and maintenance professionals rely on Whitecap hardware for systems that withstand UV exposure, salt spray, and temperature cycling without sacrificing appearance or function. The 316 stainless material eliminates concerns about rust bloom or surface degradation over multi-year service intervals. At 0.2 lbs, this lightweight component is easy to install and handle while delivering the durability expectations of commercial-grade marine hardware.

Whitecap is recognized for manufacturing marine-specification hardware that meets or exceeds ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) standards for corrosion resistance and material integrity. This bullet end is a direct-fit replacement or new-build component compatible with standard 7/8-inch tube systems.
