Whitecap Butt Hinge - 304 Stainless Steel - 3" x 2"

The Whitecap Butt Hinge – 304 Stainless Steel – 3" x 2" is a corrosion-resistant hardware fastener engineered for marine, coastal, and outdoor applications where salt air, moisture, and environmental exposure demand superior material performance. Manufactured by Whitecap under part number S-3418, this butt hinge delivers reliable hinge action in demanding conditions where standard steel would fail or require frequent maintenance.

Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this hinge offers excellent resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and rust in salt-spray environments, making it the preferred choice for boat hardware, marine storage, coastal equipment enclosures, and any application where longevity and minimal maintenance matter. The 3-inch length and 2-inch width profile provides secure mounting surface area while remaining compact enough for equipment panels, lockers, and access doors. Fastening is accomplished with #8 flathead screws, a standard specification that ensures compatibility with common hardware assemblies and allows straightforward installation in field conditions.

This butt hinge suits marine vessels, offshore platforms, coastal structures, emergency response equipment, tactical field gear, watercraft storage boxes, and any application where stainless steel hardware outlasts painted or galvanized alternatives. The 304 stainless steel material grade is specified in marine industry standards and proves itself in salt-air environments where painted hinges corrode within months and galvanized finishes degrade after one to two seasons. Weighing only 0.15 lbs, the hinge adds minimal weight while providing robust mechanical durability.

Whitecap is known in the marine hardware segment for prioritizing material integrity and corrosion resistance. This 304 stainless steel hinge is a workhorse component that performs identically after years of coastal exposure as it does on installation day, eliminating the hidden costs of premature failure and replacement cycles common with lower-grade fasteners.
