Whitecap End-Bottom Mounted 90° - 316 Stainless Steel - 1" Tube O.D.

The Whitecap End-Bottom Mounted 90° Stainless Steel 1" Tube O.D. fitting is a heavy-duty marine hardware component engineered for secure post and rail connections in saltwater and corrosive environments. This bottom-mounted corner connector delivers reliable structural support in deck railings, boat hand rails, and offshore platform infrastructure where corrosion resistance and load-bearing integrity are non-negotiable.

Constructed from 316 stainless steel—the marine-grade alloy standard for saltwater applications—this fitting resists pitting and corrosion far longer than 304 stainless or mild steel alternatives. The 1-inch tube outer diameter accommodates standard marine railing tubing, while the 6-7/8" x 1-1/2" base footprint provides substantial mounting surface for through-bolting to deck, gunwale, or platform structure. The 90° angle design enables corner routing and structural reinforcement at load points where vertical and horizontal members meet. Standing 1-1/2" in height above the mounting surface, the connector positions tubing at precise spacing for code-compliant rail geometry.

This fitting suits commercial marine vessels, fishing platforms, offshore installations, and residential waterfront properties where continuous exposure to salt spray, humidity, and immersion demands long-term durability without sacrificing appearance. Marine contractors and boat builders rely on Whitecap hardware for USCG-compliant railing systems and structural connections that pass years of service without maintenance-driven replacement.

Whitecap's 316 stainless steel end-bottom mounted fittings are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent bore diameter and wall thickness across production. The polished or satin finish typical of Whitecap marine hardware offers both aesthetic appeal and functional surface protection. At 0.9 lbs, this single fitting integrates into modular rail assemblies without excessive weight penalty—critical for floating structures and vessels where every pound affects buoyancy and handling.
