Nilight 2" x 9" Weld-On Hitch Adapter Receiver Tube Raw Steel with 5/8" Pin Hole

Nilight's 2" x 9" weld-on hitch adapter is a raw-steel, heavy-duty receiver tube built to accept standard 2" x 2" shanks for custom towing and fabrication projects.

This weld-on hitch bar is designed for fabricators, shop owners, and DIY builders who need a dependable, industry-standard receiver to integrate into trailers, frames, or custom tow assemblies. It arrives in raw steel ready for welding, features a reinforced 1/2" collar at the opening for added durability, and uses the familiar 5/8" hitch pin hole so you can fit common ball mounts, hooks, or accessory shanks.

What makes this receiver compatible with most tow accessories?

The inner dimensions follow industry standards for 2" x 2" shanks, so popular accessories slide in without modification. The 5/8" hitch pin hole aligns with widely used pin and clip systems, keeping your setup simple and interchangeable.

• Standard 2" x 2" inside dimensions accept common ball mounts and shanks.
• 5/8" hitch pin hole fits most pins and locking devices.
• Raw-steel finish allows builders to weld and finish for custom clearance or paint.

How strong is the Nilight weld-on hitch tube for towing or structural use?

Constructed from quality steel, this receiver tube is intended to provide reliable structural strength when properly welded into a compatible frame. A 1/2" reinforcement collar at the mouth increases resistance to deformation under load concentration at the opening.

• Quality steel construction for dependable strength in welded applications.
• 1/2" reinforcement collar adds rigidity where accessories engage.
• Best used as part of a professionally welded design to ensure safe load transfer.

How is the hitch tube prepared for installation and finishing?

The adapter ships in raw, uncoated steel so it can be welded directly into your project and then treated to match your build. Leaving it raw gives fabricators full control over welding technique, corrosion protection, and final appearance.

• Raw-steel finish for immediate welding without pre-treatment.
• Post-weld options include galvanizing, powder coat, or paint to prevent corrosion.
• Fits into custom towing systems, trailer repairs, or workshop fixtures.

What are the exact size and fit considerations to check before buying?

The unit measures 9 inches overall length with standard 2" x 2" internal dimensions and a 5/8" hitch pin hole. Confirm that the 9" length suits your receiver projection and that your accessory shank matches the 2" size to avoid fitment issues.

• Total length: 9 inches — verify clearance and insertion depth needs.
• Pin hole diameter: 5/8" — ensure pin/lock compatibility.
• Intended for welding into structural members; design welds accordingly.

Who is this for: This Nilight weld-on hitch adapter is aimed at metal fabricators, trailer shops, vehicle customizers, and experienced DIYers who build or repair towing setups and need a proven, industry-sized receiver tube. It’s not a bolt-on replacement; plan to weld it into a robust frame and apply appropriate corrosion protection after installation.
