Whitecap Stud Catch - 316 Stainless Steel - 1-3/4" x 5/16"

The Whitecap Stud Catch in 316 stainless steel is a marine-grade fastening component engineered for permanent attachment in high-corrosion environments. Measuring 1-3/4" in length with a 5/16" width, this stud catch is manufactured from 316 stainless steel—the superior grade for saltwater and coastal applications where standard steel or 304 stainless would degrade. The #6 fastener configuration (four studs) provides secure, distributed load-bearing capacity across multiple mounting points, eliminating reliance on single-point attachment.

316 stainless steel's molybdenum content grants superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion compared to 304-grade alternatives, making it the material of choice for offshore, marine-equipment, and salt-spray environments. The compact footprint—just 1-3/4" long—allows this catch to integrate into tight spaces without compromising structural integrity. The four-stud design distributes stress evenly, reducing localized stress concentration and extending service life in dynamic or vibration-prone applications.

This stud catch serves maritime hardware, deck rigging, rail systems, and industrial fastening where corrosion resistance and permanent installation are non-negotiable. Vessel owners, marine engineers, and offshore equipment managers rely on 316 stainless hardware to eliminate replacement cycles and ensure decades of reliable performance. The Whitecap brand positioning in marine-grade hardware makes this component a trusted choice for commercial and recreational marine applications where failure is not an option.

Whether securing deck lines, attaching rail systems, or fixing permanent deck hardware, this 316 stainless steel stud catch delivers the corrosion resistance and fastening reliability demanded by saltwater environments.
