Overview
The Brophy RL12 is a 12" weld-on receiver tube with a 2-1/2" outside square tube dimension, 2" inside receiver opening, and 5/8" hitch pin hole. It is designed for custom fabrication applications where the installer needs to add or replace a receiver tube on a suitable trailer, truck, RV, or hitch structure.
R&P Service Insight
Receiver tubes are measurement-critical parts. Before welding, confirm the receiver opening, pin hole diameter, length, and intended accessory fit. The tube itself is only one part of the finished hitch assembly.
- Measure First: Confirm 2" inside receiver size and 5/8" pin hole compatibility before ordering.
- Weld-On Install: Installation should be handled by a qualified welder or fabrication shop.
- Finish After Welding: Raw finish should be cleaned, prepped, and coated after installation to help resist corrosion.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Designed for applications requiring a 12" long weld-on receiver tube with 2-1/2" outside square tube dimension and 2" inside receiver opening.
Vehicle / System Fit: Commonly used in trailer, truck, RV, and hitch fabrication where measurements and mounting structure match the intended installation.
Installation Notes: Verify weld location, tube orientation, accessory clearance, and pin hole access before welding permanently.
Performance Insight: Receiver tube fit depends on the inside receiver opening, pin hole alignment, and the strength of the completed welded assembly.
Brand & Fitment Note
Selling Brand: Brophy
Application Reference: Trailer, truck, RV, and hitch references describe common use cases only. Fitment must be confirmed by measurement and installation requirements.
What This Means: This listing is for one Brophy RL12 weld-on receiver tube, not a complete hitch assembly.
Before Ordering: Verify the required receiver size, tube length, outside dimension, pin hole diameter, weld location, and finished assembly requirements before installation.
R&P Repair Insight
When replacing or adding a receiver tube, do not rely on the receiver opening alone. Match the tube length, outside dimension, pin hole size, and installation style to the job.
- Check Receiver Size: This tube has a 2" I.D. receiver opening for compatible 2" shanks.
- Check Pin Hole: This tube uses a 5/8" hitch pin hole diameter.
- Check Finish Needs: Raw finish should be protected after fabrication with the appropriate coating for the environment.
