90 Degree Marine Stanchion Elbow - 316 Stainless Steel (7/8"", 1"", 1-1/4"")
Rail Connectivity Hardware • Top Pick
Check PriceLoose rails are a death sentence. You’re in a heavy swell, grab the brightwork, and the fitting snaps. Now you’re overboard. Most boaters buy cheap, thin-walled scrap metal. It’s negligence. A weak rail isn't a handrail; it's a trap.
Generic fittings are bilge water. Chrome-plated zinc? Garbage. It pits in a week. Plastic? Don't make me laugh. Plastic is for milk jugs, not blue water. These cheap parts bleed rust streaks down your gelcoat and fail under load. If your hardware can't handle a deck-ape’s weight in a gale, get it off the boat. Check the BoatUS Foundation for safety standards before you kill someone.

FAQ
- Will this elbow rust in saltwater environments?
- No, this fitting is cast from premium AISI 316 Stainless Steel, which contains molybdenum to specifically resist pitting and crevice corrosion in high-salinity saltwater environments, outperforming standard 304 grades.
- Does it require welding for a secure fit?
- No welding is required. The design features integrated hex-head set screws that provide a high-torque mechanical grip on the tubing, allowing for a secure, permanent-feel installation with the flexibility of future adjustments.
- How do I choose the right size for my boat rail?
- Measure the Outer Diameter (OD) of your existing railing tube. We offer three precision sizes: 7/8" (22mm), 1" (25mm), and 1-1/4" (32mm) to ensure a seamless, slide-on fit with minimal clearance.
