90-Degree Hinged / Split Tee Joint Marine Handrail Fitting. Unlike a traditional solid slip-on tee fitting that requires you to slide the piece from the very edge of a tube, this advanced variant features a hinged split-sleeve body. It can open up completely like a clamp, allowing you to quickly bolt it onto any middle section of an existing railing framework without taking down or disassembling the surrounding setup.
It is precision investment-cast from premium 316 marine-grade stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish to combat severe saltwater oxidation.
Pro-Tips for This Fitting
1,Hinged vs. Standard Slip-On: Make sure you explicitly buy the "Hinged" or "Split" variant if you want to avoid dismantling your boat's railing. A standard slip-on tee looks very similar from a distance but has a solid, continuous loop that cannot open up.
2,Hex Head Tightening: When mounting the split collar around your stainless rail, tighten the hex bolts evenly on both sides to prevent the hinge from binding or pinching the tube unevenly.
3,Vibration Warning: Handrails are subjected to high amounts of engine rumble and wave vibrations. Proactively coat the clamping bolt threads with medium-strength thread locker to prevent the hardware from backing out during a voyage.
