What is it?

[BobHorn]

Can anyone tell me what this item is used for? I have six of them, brand new. It fits one inch tubing.


Thanks,


Bob

It's a stand off that allows you to attach something to a tube. For example, the frame of a solar panel to the top of your Bimini, through holes in the fabric.
At least, that's how I have used them.
There are versions that open, so you can add them to tubing that is already bent

The fact that it doesn't open kind of limits the appeal. Maybe that's why I have six of them.
