Ronstan Nylon Tiller Extension Retaining Clip - 16mm (5/8") - Black

The Ronstan Nylon Tiller Extension Retaining Clip in 16mm (5/8") Black is a precision-engineered fastening solution designed for marine applications where secure, reliable tube retention is critical. This retaining clip is purpose-built to secure tiller extensions and similar tubing in demanding saltwater and freshwater environments. Whether you're rigging a sailing vessel, maintaining a fishing boat, or managing any application requiring durable tube clamping, this clip delivers the consistent performance that professional mariners and boat builders depend on.

Constructed from UV-stabilized nylon, the Ronstan RF1135-16 resists degradation from prolonged sun exposure, salt spray, and harsh marine conditions that would compromise lesser materials. The 16mm (5/8") diameter specification ensures a secure grip on standard tiller extension tubing and compatible piping sizes. UV stabilization is critical for marine hardware; without it, nylon becomes brittle and loses clamping force within seasons. The compact design—measuring 2 x 1 x 3 inches and weighing just 0.1 lbs—makes installation straightforward without adding unnecessary bulk or weight to your vessel's structure.

This retaining clip is essential for sailors, boat maintenance technicians, and anyone securing tiller extensions on cruising or racing sailboats. The black finish blends seamlessly with marine hardware aesthetics while the nylon material resists corrosion—a significant advantage over metal clips in saltwater applications. Installation is simple: position the clip around your 16mm diameter tube and secure using appropriate fasteners (not included). For optimal longevity, verify tube diameter before purchase to ensure proper fit and clamping pressure on your specific tiller extension or tubing application.
