This central pipe hinge for foldable canopy bows from Pfeiffer Marine is mounted between two pipe sections, allowing a continuous bow to be folded. It is designed for canopy, sprayhood, and bimini constructions with Ø 20 mm pipes.
The hinge features an articulated design with two insert ends. Each end is inserted into its respective pipe section, allowing the joint to function as a central pivot in the bow. When used with standard 20 × 2 mm pipes, the insert ends fit an internal pipe diameter of 16 mm.
The product is manufactured from silver-anodized aluminum. In the 90° position, the hinge measures 60 × 50 mm, and the product weight is 100 g. The manufacturer number is 7872001, also written as 78 720 01 in the manufacturer's catalog.
The associated system of fittings for Ø 20 mm pipes also includes eye terminal 46.931.00, clamping coupling 46.932.00, mounting plate 46.933.00, and wall/side bracket 46.934.00. These are separate system components and are not necessary parts for the hinge itself.
