We are offering a set of four Broad Brimmed Top Hat Caster Sockets. Caster Sockets are brand new. See images above for measurements.
The caster sockets featured on this page work with Miracle Casters (and other casters
that have a 7/16-in. diameter grip-ring stem.). These sockets allow casters to be mounted to furniture other than chairs, or to chairs that do not have a suitable socket.
Now, desks, TV caddies, bar-stools and even home-made furnishings can be fitted with casters.
Select the socket design that will work best with your
particular type of furniture. (We sell other types of sockets in separate listings.) Some chairs and certain types of furniture
may not be suitable for use with any of the sockets featured here. There
is always a risk that modifying furniture by adding sockets or casters
may lead to furniture damage or personal injury. Use these sockets at
your own risk.
Broad Brimmed Top Hat Socket: Shaped like a broad-brimmed
top hat, this socket is perfect for chairs with thick and sturdy wooden
legs. The wide-diameter tack plate (the brim of the hat) measures 2
1/8-in. so the stress of the caster stem is distributed over a wide
area, reducing the likelihood of damage to your chair leg. This socket
is sometimes used on pianos. Can be used on a variety of wooden
furniture. We used
four of these on the plant pot
platform pictured at the top of this page.
Will fit a 7/16-in. diameter stem up to 1 1/2-in. long. Start by
drilling a
hole at least 9/16-in. diameter in the bottom of your chair leg (or
other
furniture). Then insert the top of the "hat" into the hole and secure
with four screws or bolts (not included). Stainless steel.
