Product Description
Price is for each.
Manufacturer Part Number: 3406B
Black Nylon
The Whitecap Marine Products Black and White Nylon Jaw Slide (SKU: 3406B/3406W) is a compact, durable marine-grade fitting made from high-impact black or white nylon. This material is UV-resistant, corrosion-resistant (ideal for saltwater exposure), lightweight, and designed to withstand the harsh conditions of boating and marine environments without mildewing or degrading quickly.
The part features a distinctive "jaw" design - an open-sided, U-shaped or hinged-like clamp body with a circular opening that slips over and grips 3/4-inch (3/4") round tubing. A stainless steel screw (typically a flat-head or similar) threads through the jaw to tighten and secure the slide firmly onto the tube, preventing slippage. The opposite end incorporates a protruding jaw/pin receiver with a hole sized for a 3/16-inch diameter pin (approximately 5 inches long in many compatible setups, though the pin itself is usually supplied separately or as part of a mating component like an eye end or hinge pin).
Overall dimensions are small and low-profile (roughly a few inches tall/wide), making it unobtrusive while providing a strong mechanical connection. The black color blends well with many boat frames, bimini tubing, and canvas hardware for a clean, professional appearance.
Key Specifications (from product listing):
Functions and Uses:
This jaw slide is a specialized sliding/attachment fitting primarily used in marine top systems and similar canvas/frame applications. Its main functions are:
Primary Uses:
This fitting is often sold individually or in pairs (e.g., 3406BP for a pair) and pairs well with compatible nylon or stainless eye ends, pins, hinges, and top caps in the same 3/4" tubing system. It's a cost-effective, reliable choice for DIY bimini repairs, upgrades, or new installations where metal alternatives might be overkill or prone to corrosion.

Key Specifications (from product listing):
- Material - Black or White nylon (injection-molded, high-strength)
- Tube Size - Fits 3/4" outer diameter round tubing
- Pin Size - Accepts 3/16" diameter pin (commonly used with 3/16" x 5" clevis/hinge pins)
- Color - Black
- Fastener - Includes a securing screw (usually stainless steel) to clamp onto the tube
Functions and Uses:
This jaw slide is a specialized sliding/attachment fitting primarily used in marine top systems and similar canvas/frame applications. Its main functions are:
- Secure attachment point on tubing - Clamps firmly to 3/4" round boat tubing (aluminum or stainless frame poles) via the screw-tightened jaw, creating a fixed or adjustable mounting location without needing to cut or permanently alter the tube.
- Pivoting or hinged connection - The jaw end receives a pin (usually from an eye end, hinge, or strap fitting), allowing the attached component to pivot or articulate. This enables folding, deployment, or angle adjustment.
Primary Uses:
- Bimini top hardware - Most commonly used to mount bimini tops (boat canopies/shade structures). The jaw slide attaches to the vertical or horizontal support poles of the bimini frame, and the pin hole connects to the canvas frame's eye ends, hinges, or straps - allowing the bimini to be raised, lowered, or removed easily.
- Marine canopy and awning systems - Connects fabric tops, dodgers, or enclosures to boat railings, frames, or arches on powerboats, sailboats, pontoon boats, and center consoles.
- Support arm or brace attachment - Used to add or reposition support poles/arms on existing bimini tops or boat covers.
- Other marine/fabric applications - Occasionally used in custom boat covers, spray hoods, camper awnings, or temporary shade structures where a lightweight, non-corrosive sliding/pivoting connection is needed on round tubing.
This fitting is often sold individually or in pairs (e.g., 3406BP for a pair) and pairs well with compatible nylon or stainless eye ends, pins, hinges, and top caps in the same 3/4" tubing system. It's a cost-effective, reliable choice for DIY bimini repairs, upgrades, or new installations where metal alternatives might be overkill or prone to corrosion.
NOTE: The difference between packaged and not packaged items is that a packaged item has a card with either a plastic encasing (blister) or a polybag usually for displaying purposes.
