    Insert Shown with Hitch-Ball Components

    Use these inserts in hitch-ball connections for towing. They fit into a receiver that's attached to a vehicle. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed. Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) represents the weight of the load on the hitch ball.

    Clevis Rod Ends

    Connect a clevis rod end to a hydraulic cylinder to create a bend or pivot. Use these with pivot brackets and clevis pins (each component sold separately). They’re also known as yoke-end linkages.
    Stainless Steel—Stainless steel clevis rod ends are more corrosion resistant than steel clevis rod ends in wet environments.

    Go/No-Go Left-Hand Threaded Plug Gauges with Handle

    A go and no-go gauge in one, these gauges check that left-hand threads fall within tolerance. Use them to confirm thread fit for nuts, tapped holes, and other parts. The taperlock handle speeds up tests, giving you a good grip to thread and unthread each gauge end. It also lets you swap out worn gauges for new ones (not included) on either end.
    The go gauge checks the minimum internal thread size, and the no-go gauge checks the maximum. A part is within tolerance if it’s easy to thread the go gauge but difficult to thread the no-go gauge more than two turns.

    Plug Gauges with Accuracy Certificate Traceable to NIST—Gauges with an accuracy certificate traceable to NIST include verification from the manufacturer that their thread sizes are within tolerance. The certificate is also known as a certificate of compliance or a short-form certification.
    Plug Gauges with Calibration Certificate Traceable to NIST—Gauges with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST were calibrated in a lab. The certificate, sometimes called a test report or long-form certificate, details the tested measurements.
    For Class 2B Unified Standard Thread Fit—For inch threads, the higher the class number, the tighter the fit. Unified Standard Class 2B is standard and works for most applications.
    For Thread Fit—Thread fit designates the tightness or looseness of mating threads.

    Go/No-Go Threaded Plug Gauges with Handle

    Speed up thread tolerance checks—the handle on these gauges gives you a good grip to quickly thread and unthread go or no-go gauges. Use these gauges to make sure nuts, tapped holes, and other parts fall within tolerance. All are precisely manufactured to confirm thread fit. If the plug gauges wear down, you can insert new ones (not included) onto the taperlock handle.
    A part is within tolerance if it’s easy to thread the go gauge into the part but difficult to thread the no-go gauge more than two turns.
    Go/no-go gauges have both a go gauge on one end of the handle and a no-go gauge on the other to speed up tests. Go gauges check the minimum internal thread size. No-go gauges check the maximum internal thread size.
