Each disc is 12 inches in diameter and 3\/16 inch thick, sized to sit securely over a standard 2-7\/8\" kingpin. Made from durable polyethylene, they are intended to prevent scraping and greasy build-up on the hitch surface so you can tow with less mess and routine maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these lube plates protect my fifth wheel hitch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Threlaco discs act as a replaceable buffer that absorbs friction where the trailer kingpin contacts the hitch plate. Instead of grease transferring directly to the hitch, the polymer disc takes the wear and can be swapped out when worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12\" diameter covers the contact zone for typical fifth wheel plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16\" thickness provides a protective barrier against abrasion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolyethylene resists wear and reduces metal-on-metal contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComes as a two-pack so a spare is ready when needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these fit my RV kingpin and how do I install them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach plate features an internal opening sized to press over a standard 2-7\/8\" kingpin and a zigzag edge that helps with alignment.

They are especially useful if you prefer a grease-free solution, need a quick on-road replacement, or want to reduce time spent cleaning and re-lubricating your hitch. These discs are intended as preventative accessories to lower wear and simplify towing upkeep; they do not replace proper hitch inspection and mechanical maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do these plates fit a 2-5\/16\" kingpin?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. These Threlaco discs are sized for a standard 2-7\/8\" kingpin and may not seat correctly on a 2-5\/16\" kingpin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How often should I replace the lube plate?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Replace when you see noticeable wear or reduced thickness; frequency depends on towing mileage and conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Threlaco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48087673536670,"sku":"B0DGP9TWLB","price":34.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/threlaco-front-view-packaging.jpg?v=1785928446","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/threlaco-2-pack-5th-wheel-hitch-lube-plate-12-inch-rv-1","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
