The Dock Hardware DH-SSTM T-Male Connector is crafted from 1/4" 316 marine-grade stainless steel to deliver unmatched strength and long-term corrosion resistance. This premium floating dock hinge is designed for connecting dock sections where flexibility and durability are essential.
The 5" x 5" base plate includes pre-punched 9/16" square holes sized for 1/2" carriage bolts, ensuring fast, secure installation. A heavy-duty 3/4" welded stainless ear provides the hinge point, engineered for long-term reliability under the stresses of waves, tides, and heavy dock use.
