F.A.Q.
How
much do Picea-316 Rail Fittings cost?
Average cost is £9.50 per component. See Below.
Why
are 316 Cast Stainless Steel fittings preferable to Zamak (Chrome Plated)
fittings?
Zamak tends to corrode. Like aluminium, when the protective coating
is damaged corrosion appears around unlike material joints. Most pleasure
craft rails are made from 7/8 or 1 Highly Polished Type
316 Stainless. Wall thickness can vary between 0.049 (1.24mm)
and 0.083 (2.1mm). 1.7 mm is typical. Tube bore and outside
diameter should always be measured before ordering fittings.
How
long will Picea-316 fittings last?
All fittings supplied by Picea are guaranteed for life providing they
are not misused or installed incorrectly.
What
size fasteners are required for installation?
Stainless C/S No 10 Screws, 1/4 & 3/16 (M6 & M5)
screws with nylock nuts and washers are recommended.
Is
Stainless Tubing available from Picea-316?
YES! We supply top quality highly polished 'Super Marine 316 Stainless'
tube at competitive rates.
How
are Picea fittings secured to tubing?
Fittings are supplied with 1/4-28 Cup-Point Stainless Hexagons
Socket Set Screws. A 1/8 A/F Allen Wrench is required.
What
are the major benefits?
Quality, Longevity, Safety, Appearance and Low Cost. Design, construction
and installation of deck rails is now a simple procedure for DIY boat
owners. Not surprisingly Picea-316 Rail Fittings are the choice of so
many discerning End Users and OEMs.
