It finishes the end of the tube at a right-angle connection point and uses a set screw fastener, which is useful when the fitting needs to be positioned, serviced, or adjusted without a pop-rivet installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting belongs to TACO Marine’s ball and socket top fitting range and is made from polished Type 316L stainless steel with a Delrin insert.

On boats exposed to vibration, trailering, or repeated folding of a bimini frame, the connection should be checked as part of normal hardware inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMarine use\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe polished stainless finish makes this fitting suitable for visible topside locations where hardware appearance matters, such as bimini frames, shade supports, and canvas structures around cockpits or helm areas.
