Optimal angle setting requires basic mechanical understanding and careful alignment to ensure secure and functional installation.
Why is this hinge more expensive than basic models?
The higher price reflects the premium investment cast 316 stainless steel construction and the unique 180-degree adjustability, offering superior corrosion resistance and versatile mounting capabilities critical for marine environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pin size for this adjustable hinge?
This adjustable hinge is available with options for either a 1/4" or a 5/16" pin size.
What material is this hinge made from?
The hinge is constructed from high-grade investment cast 316 stainless steel, renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance in marine applications.
Can this hinge be used on a 1-inch rail?
While designed for angled mounting, its top-mount configuration and adjustable nature make it adaptable, but direct use on a specific rail diameter depends on the mounting surface and chosen fasteners.
What is the purpose of the adjustable angle feature?
The 180-degree adjustable angle feature allows for precise alignment and mounting of components onto surfaces that are not perfectly flat or are at an angle, such as slanted decks or tubing.
What fasteners are needed for installation?
Two FH (flat head) fasteners are required for installation; these are not included with the hinge and must be purchased separately.
