The Sea-Dog Hinged Tee does exactly that. Marine-grade stainless steel, a clean 90-degree tee, and a hinged leg that pivots instead of locking solid. It's the fitting boaters reach for on bimini frames, canvas enclosures, and custom rail work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery canvas frame and rail run needs a way to turn a corner. The Sea-Dog Hinged Tee is one of those small parts that quietly holds the whole thing together. It joins three lengths of 1-inch outer-diameter tube in a tee, sets the branch at a clean 90 degrees, and adds a hinge so that leg can pivot instead of sitting rigid. That hinge is the whole point. When you fold your bimini top down for the run home, the frame has to collapse without fighting you, and a hinged fitting lets it do that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's machined from stainless steel, so it lives outside in salt spray and sun the way marine hardware has to. No flaking paint, no rust bleed staining your gelcoat, no chalky fade after a couple of seasons. One inch is the standard tube size for most bimini bows, canvas enclosures, and hand-rail frames, so this drops straight into the stock most boaters already have on the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere does it earn its keep? Bimini and T-top frames, first and foremost, where a folding joint is the difference between a top that stows flat and one that jams. Canvas and camper enclosures use them at the corners. And if you build custom tube work, a radar arch brace, a rocket-launcher frame, a grab rail, a hinged tee gives you a pivoting three-way junction without welding. You bolt the tube in, snug it down, and you're rigging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick word on what this is and isn't. It's a single fitting, not a kit, so you're buying one connector, not a whole frame. And it's built for 1-inch tube. If your rail is 7\/8-inch or 1-1\/4-inch stock, this won't seat right, so measure the outer diameter before you order. Get the size correct and it's a lifetime part, the kind you install once and forget about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine-grade stainless steel stands up to salt spray and UV without rusting or fading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSized for 1-inch outer-diameter tube, the standard rail and frame stock on most boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTee configuration joins three tube runs in one three-way junction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBranch set at a clean 90-degree angle for square corners and frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHinged leg pivots so the frame can fold or angle instead of locking rigid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for bimini and T-top frames, canvas enclosures, hand rails, and custom tube fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sea-Dog reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat tube size does this hinged tee fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's built for 1-inch outer-diameter tube, which is the standard stock on most bimini bows, canvas frames, and hand rails.
