Buyers Products RT255812 is a weld-on receiver tube with a 2-1/2-inch receiver opening and 12-inch length. Its plain carbon-steel construction is intended for fabrication into a suitable receiver assembly. A cast-steel stress collar reinforces the opening, and the hitch-pin hole accepts a 5/8-inch pin.
This unfinished tube gives a fabricator a starting point for a custom mounting arrangement. The receiver opening must match the inserted accessory, while the tube length and surrounding structure must suit the installation. The finished assembly needs an appropriate design and load rating before towing or carrying a load.
