Chromed brass base for 20 mm rod – code: 35.158.01 – Osculati

Chrome-plated brass base for Ø 20 mm Osculati rod (code 35.158.01)

The chrome-plated brass base Osculati is a deck accessory designed for the installation of a rod with 20 mm diameter. It is a solution recommended when a base with a specific inclination is needed compared to the bases commonly supplied in series with the rods, maintaining an orderly and functional setup of the fitting.

This component falls under the category Deck equipment and is suitable for integrations or replacements in the nautical field, where the choice of the base can affect the positioning and orientation of the installed rod.

Features and construction details

Material

The base is made of chromed brass, a typical choice for deck accessories requiring a refined finish and an appearance consistent with metal components already present on board.

Inclination

This base features a’10° inclination. As a reference, the other standard bases with the rods are inclined at 30°: this detail makes the model particularly useful when a lower inclination than the standard is desired.

Dimensional compatibility

• For rods with Ø 20 mm.

Product identification

• Brand / supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Product code: 35.158.01
• Supplier code: 38.158.01

Fittings and restorations

The base is suitable for installations where a 20 mm rod is used and precise control of the orientation relative to the mounting plane is desired. In the nautical field, accessories of this type are commonly used in various setup and maintenance contexts, for example:

• Replacement of an existing base with a different inclination, to adjust the rod's positioning.
• Customized fittings where the standard inclination is not ideal for the deck configuration or due to the space occupied by nearby components.
• Refitting interventions and restoration, when you want to unify finishes and components with a chrome-plated brass solution.

In general, having a lower inclination can be useful when you want to keep the rod more “vertical” compared to more inclined bases, compatible with the specific application.

Operational advantages

Choice of inclination based on installation

The value of 10° allows differentiating the installation compared to the standard bases inclined at 30°. This allows adapting the rod's orientation to the needs of the mounting point, without resorting to improvised solutions.

Chrome finish and coordinated appearance

The’chromed brass offers a finish suitable for contexts where the aesthetics of the deck and consistency with other metal hardware are important. It is a frequent choice when a component with a professional look and easy matching is desired.

allows practical air management directly from the outlet point. This helps customize distribution based on current conditions (presence of people, ventilation needs, directional preferences).

The presence of a item code light (35.158.01) facilitates the management of replacement and the correct identification of the component during procurement, especially in technical and maintenance fields.

Usage and installation notes

For a correct result, it is advisable to check before purchase and installation:

• Rod diameter: the base is designed for Ø 20 mm.
• Desired inclination: this model is 10°, different from the standard bases often at 30°.
• Deck positioning: evaluate space and rod orientation in relation to passages, handrails, accessories, and nearby surfaces.

In case of replacement, it is good practice to compare the existing base (inclination and rod dimensions) to ensure continuity of assembly and a final result consistent with the fitting.

If you are configuring a system or a complete fitting, the choice of base can affect the overall setup: when the standard inclination is not suitable, this model represents a targeted and easy-to-integrate alternative.
