Weld-On Receiver Tube
The Buyers Products Company solar RT255812 is a 12 inch weld-on receiver tube built for trailer, plow and towing equipment. It accepts a 2 1/2 inch hitch size and a 5/8 inch hitch pin. The carbon steel construction suits permanent frame mounting.
Upgrading From Bolt-On Receivers
This tube replaces bolt-on or clamp-style receivers when a permanent, welded connection is required. The jump is worth it for heavy-duty towing setups that demand maximum frame integration and load transfer. It is not for installers who cannot weld or who need a removable hitch.
Build Integration
The plain finish allows immediate welding without coating removal. The 12 inch shank provides reach for custom frame geometries. It frees up the need for separate mounting brackets or reinforcement plates. The carbon steel material matches standard frame steel for compatible welds.

Questions about this item
What weld preparation does the 12 in carbon-steel shank require before mounting?
The shank must be cleaned to bare metal and positioned so the 2 1/2 in receiver opening aligns with the trailer frame before welding all around.
Which step is most often missed when installing the weld-on receiver tube?
Forgetting to verify the 5/8 in hitch pin hole orientation before the weld cools, which can leave the pin hole misaligned for the hitch pin.
What ongoing care does the bare carbon-steel receiver tube need after welding?
Apply a rust-inhibiting primer and topcoat to all exposed surfaces, then inspect the welds and coating annually for cracks or corrosion.
