Product Description
Price is for each.
Manufacturer Part Number: 6155
316 Stainless Steel
* With 1/4" - 28 set screws. (P/N 6249)
o The Heavy Duty Deck Assembly with NO Base, such as the Whitecap Marine Products model (SKU: 6155), is a specialized marine hardware fitting designed for robust, corrosion-resistant applications in boating environments. Based on the provided image and product specifications, it appears as a compact, articulated joint made from polished 316 stainless steel, which provides excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion, rust, and weathering. The assembly consists of two main cylindrical tube receivers connected by a central pivot mechanism, allowing for angular adjustment. One end features a smooth-bore tube sleeve (approximately 1" inner diameter) with a set screw (likely 1/4"-28 threading, based on similar models) for securing a tube in place. The other end has a similar sleeve but with a slotted or open design, enabling it to clamp onto or pivot around another component. A central thumbscrew or bolt (5/16"-18 size) acts as the pivot point, allowing the two halves to swivel relative to each other for flexibility in positioning. The overall design is heavy-duty, with a sleek, machined finish and no mounting base plate-distinguishing it from related models like the 6154, which includes a 1" x 2-1/8" base for screw-fastening to surfaces. Dimensions are not explicitly detailed beyond the tube and bolt sizes, but visually, it measures roughly 3-4 inches in length when extended, with a compact profile suitable for tight spaces.
o Uses
o This assembly is primarily used in marine settings, particularly for boat tops, canopies, and railings. It is commonly employed in bimini top systems (foldable sunshades or covers on boats), where it connects frame tubes to deck-mounted points without requiring a separate base plate. The "no base" design makes it ideal for custom or replacement installations where direct bolting or integration into existing hardware is preferred, such as on fiberglass decks, gunwales, or side rails. It can also be used in other tubing-based structures like dodgers, enclosures, or lightweight railings on yachts, sailboats, or fishing vessels. Its heavy-duty construction suits high-stress environments, including offshore boating where components must withstand wind, waves, and constant movement.
o Functionalities
o Secure Tube Clamping: The 1" tube sleeves grip stainless steel or aluminum frame tubes firmly using set screws, preventing slippage while allowing easy assembly or disassembly.
o Pivot and Adjustability: The central 5/16"-18 bolt enables smooth swiveling (typically up to 180 degrees or more, depending on installation), facilitating folding, angling, or tensioning of boat tops for optimal shade or clearance.
o Corrosion Resistance: Made from 316-grade stainless steel, it offers superior durability against marine elements, reducing maintenance needs and ensuring longevity.
o Versatile Mounting: Without a base, it can be bolted directly through surfaces using the pivot bolt, or integrated into custom setups, making it more flexible than base-equipped versions.
o Heavy-Duty Performance: Designed for load-bearing applications, it supports the weight and tension of canopy frames without deformation, enhancing safety and stability on the water.
This component is part of Whitecap's line of top fittings, often sold through marine suppliers like Defender Marine or directly from Whitecap's website. If you have the exact model or additional context, I can refine this further.
