Marine-grade 316 stainless steel folding pipe connector — heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant hinge that lets two tubes fold down up to 180° for easy stowage, access and transport. Key benefits Long-lasting marine performance: Made from 316 marine-grade stainless steel for strength, corrosion resistance and reliable operation in the harshest sea environments. Ready to install: Designed for simple, fast installation straight out of the box — no drilling, welding or extra modifications required, saving time during setup. Maximum folding range: Allows two pipes to fold downward up to 180°, giving exceptional flexibility for maneuvering, storage and lowering railings or fittings. Durable finish: Built to resist scratches, abrasion, oxidation and aging so it retains appearance and function under frequent daily use. Safe and robust: Solid construction provides a secure connection that’s built to withstand regular marine stresses. What it does Provides a strong, secure pivot point for two tubes so they can be lowered or folded completely flat. Maintains performance and appearance over time thanks to high-quality 316 stainless steel and corrosion-resistant design. Installs quickly without special tools or modifications — ideal for retrofit or new installations where ease and reliability matter. Compatibility and performance Material: 316 marine-grade stainless steel for saltwater resistance and long service life. Function: 180° downward folding of the connected pipes for storage, access and clearance. Installation: Out-of-the-box use with no additional drilling or welding required. Fits typical applications that use a folding pipe connector without altering surrounding structure. Typical applications Boat railings and stanchions: Fold rail sections down for low-clearance passages, maintenance or trailering. Boarding ladders and removable fixtures: Lower ladders or temporary posts to stow them flush with the deck. Docks, pontoons and marine equipment: Create collapsible rail runs or removable supports that resist corrosion and heavy use. Why choose this connector Combines marine-grade material and simple, tool-free installation for dependable, long-term service. Delivers the folding range and toughness needed where space, clearance and corrosion resistance are critical.
