RAM Suction Cup Base - with Medium Double Socket Arm - (B Series 1")

RAM-B-166-103U RAM® Twist-Lock™ Suction Cup Base with Medium Double Socket Arm

The RAM-B-166-103U pairs an 84mm (3.3") RAM® Twist-Lock™ suction cup base with a medium B Series double socket arm, leaving an open socket to take any RAM® cradle or base with a 1" ball. It gives a strong, tool-free hold on windscreens, glass, and other smooth non-porous surfaces.

Key Features

• Twist-Lock™ suction cup holds firm on vehicle windscreens and non-porous surfaces, including RAM® adhesive discs
• Medium B Series double socket arm with adjustment points at both ends for near-infinite positioning
• Open socket accepts any RAM® 1" (B size) ball base or cradle
• Powder-coated marine-grade aluminium and high-strength composite construction
• Backed by RAM®'s lifetime warranty on the base hardware; the suction cup itself is treated as a wear item and sits outside that cover

What's Included

• RAM-B-224-1U Twist-Lock™ suction cup base with 1" B-size ball
• RAM-B-201U medium double socket arm

Works With

The open socket fits any RAM® component with a 1" B size ball: X-Grip® phone cradles, diamond and round base plates, action camera adapters and more. Where there's no glass to mount to, the suction cup will also grip a RAM® adhesive disc fixed to a textured surface.

Dimensions & Specifications

• Suction cup diameter: 83.8mm (3.3")
• Arm length: 94mm (3.69") overall; 76mm (3") socket-to-socket
• Ball size: 1" rubber ball (B size)
• Weight: 249g (0.55 lb)
• Load rating: 907g (2 lb) standard use / 454g (1 lb) heavy-duty use

Care & Warranty

• Smooth, non-porous surfaces only; anything rough or textured lets air past the seal and the cup will not hold.
• Clean the surface thoroughly before you apply the cup.
• If the vehicle is left sitting in extreme heat or cold, release the cup and stow it rather than leaving it loaded.
• RAM® classes suction cups as a general wear item, so the cup is excluded from warranty cover. The base and arm hardware are covered as normal.

FAQs

Does this include a phone or device holder?
No. The top socket is open, so you add the RAM® 1" ball cradle that suits your device, such as an X-Grip®.

Is the suction cup covered by the warranty?
No. RAM® treat suction cups as a general wear item, so the cup sits outside the lifetime warranty. The rest of the mount hardware is covered as normal.

Will it stick to a textured dashboard?
Not directly. Fit a RAM® adhesive disc to the dash first and attach the suction cup to that.
