Whitecap Chain & Rope Deck Pipe 4" x 2-1/4" Chrome Plate

The Whitecap Chain & Rope Deck Pipe 4" x 2-1/4" Chrome Plate (Model S-114C) is a marine-grade through-deck fitting designed for sailboats, powerboats, and commercial vessels requiring reliable rope or chain guidance and chafing protection. This deck pipe creates a smooth, reinforced passage for mooring lines, anchor rode, and running rigging through the deck, preventing wear and maintaining structural integrity in high-use applications. Built to withstand saltwater environments and constant load cycling, it serves as an essential component in professional and recreational marine hardware systems.

Constructed from chrome-plated C.P. brass, the Whitecap deck pipe delivers superior corrosion resistance and durability in harsh marine conditions while maintaining a professional, polished appearance. The 4-inch outer diameter x 2-1/4-inch inner diameter bore accommodates standard rope sizes and chain gauges, while the 6-1/8" x 4-3/8" flanged base distributes load across the deck surface and simplifies installation. Four #10 fasteners secure the unit firmly to the deck, preventing movement and rotation under load, and the chrome plating eliminates oxidation concerns common with unfinished brass fittings in saltwater exposure.

Deck pipe installations benefit vessels with high-traffic mooring areas, where rope chafe and deck damage pose ongoing maintenance challenges. This Whitecap model suits mid-size cruising sailboats, fishing boats, and commercial fleet applications where deck hardware must endure repeated stress without failure or aesthetic degradation. Installation requires drilling four mounting holes to match the flange pattern, with standard marine sealant preventing water intrusion around the base. The compact 1.3 lb weight and modest footprint integrate seamlessly into existing deck layouts, making it ideal for retrofit projects and new construction alike.
