Whitecap S-1490C 7/8" Zamac 60-Degree Tee Fitting
Whitecap S-1490C 7/8" Zamac 60-Degree Tee Fitting — Product description
The Whitecap S-1490C is a 60-degree tee fitting for 7/8-inch outside-diameter tube. Cast from Zamac with a clean silver finish, it joins three tube ends at a fixed angle on rails, grab bars, and canvas frames. Rated for fresh water installation.
The Whitecap S-1490C is a 60-degree tee fitting for 7/8-inch outside-diameter tube, the kind of hardware that ties together canvas frames, grab rails, and bimini bows on a lot of boats. It's cast from Zamac with a clean silver finish, so it looks right on a rail without drawing attention to itself.
Use it where three tube ends need to meet at that 60-degree angle. The tee slips over 7/8-inch tube and gives you a solid junction that holds its shape under load. It's a common size, so if you're rebuilding a frame or swapping out a corroded fitting, this one drops right in.
One honest note. Whitecap rates this fitting for fresh water installation only. If your boat lives in salt, keep that in mind, because Zamac doesn't hold up in a salt environment the way a marine-grade stainless piece would. For lake and river boats, though, it's a straightforward, good-looking fix that'll last.
