These two 12-inch Threlaco lube plates offer a simple, tool-free way to reduce abrasion and mess. Built from durable polyethylene and shaped for a secure fit, they provide a clean surface that slides against the hitch plate while protecting both parts from premature wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these lube plates reduce friction and mess while towing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low-friction polyethylene surface creates a sliding layer between the kingpin and the hitch plate so metal parts glide instead of grind. That minimizes heat and wear and stops grease from spreading across the hitch assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge 12\" diameter spreads load and covers the plate surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16\" thickness resists tearing while remaining flexible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolyethylene material provides a naturally slick contact surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces the need for frequent grease applications and cleanup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these plates fit my fifth wheel kingpin and install without tools?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — each disc has a 2-7\/8\" internal opening and a zigzag edge that lets you press it over the kingpin by hand. No drilling, bolts, or adhesives are required, and the plates stay in place through normal towing movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-7\/8\" internal diameter made for standard kingpin shafts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZigzag inner profile helps keep the plate from shifting in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush-on design for fast installation or replacement at the roadside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a two-pack so you can swap an extra plate immediately if needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow durable are these discs for long trips and heavy use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from robust polyethylene, the Threlaco discs resist abrasion, cracking, and moisture so they hold up under repeated use. Their 3\/16\" thickness balances toughness with the ability to conform slightly to the kingpin and hitch plate for consistent contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolyethylene resists wear, corrosion, and water damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16\" wall thickness designed for repeated towing cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish hides road grime and keeps a tidy appearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo-piece set ensures you have a backup or a replacement ready.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat maintenance or replacement schedule should I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is minimal: inspect the plate for deep gouges, thinning, or tears during routine trailer checks and replace it when wear is visible. With regular inspection and swapping the spare in the included two-pack, you can avoid hitch damage and lengthy roadside repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCheck the plate before long trips and after heavy use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplace when significant wear or deformation appears.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeep the spare disc on hand for quick roadside swaps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClean with mild soap and water; avoid harsh solvents that can degrade plastics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho this is for: These Threlaco lube plates suit RV owners, professional haulers, and anyone towing a fifth wheel who wants a cleaner, quieter hitch experience and protection against plate wear.
