Bolt this wedge onto your Sidewinder or Revolution pin box to prevent the king pin from rotating in your Curt A Series fifth-wheel trailer hitch.by: Les09/30/2022
Although I had to wait 4 months for it to come in and needed this item in order to use the 5th wheel, by the time it arrived the season was over. Now that I have it, it works as it should so I'm happy with the product.
by: Gary05/25/2022
I didnt use this attachment on my 2021 GMC 2500 HD. I do have to be careful backing up but can almost put my truck at 90° to my 5th wheel. I have a 2021 Reflection 268 BH.
Comments
This wedge is designed for a sidewinder or revolution pinbox that will lock out the pivoting head of a Curt A Series fifth wheel trailer hitch. You will definitely want to use the wedge so that you do not get two pivoting points but if your pinbox already came with one, you can use that one.

etrailer really knows their stuff! Highly recommend!
by: Clinton 07/18/2020
I have a curt A16 with a turning point pin box. The wedge fits like a glove. Tip for lining up your wedge with your fifth wheel. Take the fifth wheel head off rest it on your tailgate under your pin box. Put some wood under it to line it up with your pin box or just lower your landing gear. Pull the fifth wheel head on to your pin. Tap your wedge in till it’s snug then just tighten it up.

The wedge worked perfectly. Much better fit than the universal wedge. Easy to install.
by: Jeremy10/01/2021
Quality looks good.. bought for my sidewinder I just installed to fit my curt A16k 5th wheel.. bolts are too small in diameter to screw into sidewinder provided with the wedge. Sidewinder stock wedge bolts are too short in length bc the wedge bolt cutout channel is too narrow (fit for the smaller screw heads). etrailer customer service is top notch. Haven't had the time to try and call to see what to do. Just wanted to share to those with new sidewinder 20k's, this wedge doesn't work with it. My sidewinder was built Aug. 28 2021.

Ordered wedge for turning point kingpin to use with Curt A20. Works much better than kingpin universal wedge.
by: Terry07/30/2017
After purchasing a used fifth wheel with a Reese Sidewinder I had no idea that there were several different wedges based on hitch model. This wedge fit the A16 perfectly and the Sidewinder works as it should.

- Which Sidewinder Wedge Works with the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer HitchYes, the Wedge Item # C16992 fits all Curt A series hitches.
view full answer... - Recommended Reese Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A25 5th Wheel HitchThe Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C16992 is the same wedge that is used for the A25 model as well. I reached out to my tech contact at Curt to confirm. The A-Series hitch heads all have the same connection dimensions, so the custom wedge will be far better than the universal fit.
view full answer... - Custom Wedge for Lippert Turning Point Pin Box and Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch in 2018 Nissan Titan XDI have exactly what you need to use the Turning Point pin box with your Curt A16 5th wheel trailer hitch. It is custom wedge # C16992. Customers have reported that the custom wedges designed for the Sidewinder pin boxes (similar to the Turning Point) do in fact fit the Lippert Turning Point pin boxes. Bolt this custom wedge on the pin box instead of the universal one and you will be good to go!
view full answer... - Can Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch Work With Revolution Pin BoxIf the Curt fifth wheel hitch you have is a slider, it will have to be locked in the forward position so that it does not slide to be able to work with the Revolution pin box. If it is a stationary hitch it will work fine. You will need the Sidewinder Wedge # C16992 to prevent the king pin from rotating in your Curt A16 fifth-wheel trailer hitch.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Use of 5th Wheel Wedge for Revolution Pin Box and Curt A16 Hitch5th wheel wedge # C16992 is the correct one for your Curt A16 hitch to allow use of a Revolution pivoting pin box. Since one of the two bolts sheared off it sounds like the initial installation left one of the bolts too loose (the one that did not break). This would have placed all of the force on the other bolt, resulting in it breaking. Custom wedges like C16992 will provide a better fit than universal wedges, if adjusted to the correct position. There is a small adjustment range in...
view full answer... - Should Lube Plate be Use with Sidewinder/Reese Revolution Pin BoxYou actually aren't supposed to use a lube plate with a Reese Revolution/Sidewinder pin box. Because the pin box doesn't turn in the hitch head you'd only need to grease the wedge and king pin and you'd be fine. Since they are not necessary, lube plates were not designed to work with Sidewinders.
view full answer... - Can Curt Sidewinder Wedge Fit on Lippert Turning Point Swiveling Pin BoxWhile the Curt wedge # C16992 has not been officially confirmed as a fit for the Lippert Turning Point pin box I am confident that it will work. Other customers have successfully used the custom wedges with the Turning Point pin box. The Turning Point pin box is basically the same concept as the Revolution or Sidewinder pin boxes with the only difference being how each one swivels.
view full answer... - How Tight Should Wedge Be On Lippert Turning Point Pin Box to Hitch Jaw3/16 of an inch is a solid amount of gap that's not too lose and not too tight. Basically you wanted as tight as you can get without causing it to become difficult to connect or disconnect so what you are doing now seems to be correct from what I am reading.
view full answer... - Is Custom Wedge for Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch Better than Universal WedgeIf you have the universal wedge installed currently and you are happy with how it fits the hitch and the ease of connection to your hitch when hitching up then you are totally fine to stay with what you have now. If you want something that is going to probably fit a bit tighter to the hitch head which would translate into less noise when travelling and also might be a little easier to hitch up to then the custom wedge part # C16992 would be a worthwhile upgrade.
view full answer... - Does Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A Series Have a WarrantyIt is really unusual for a wedge to come apart so I'm surprised this happened as I've never heard of this occurring. In regards to the warranty though, I checked with Curt, and the Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C16992 does indeed have a lifetime warranty.
view full answer... - Is Curt Wedge For A-Series 5th Wheel Hitches Supposed To Touch Pin Box King Pin?I would be happy to help! Based on your description of the Custom Wedge # C16992 being 1/4" from the king pin and fitting your Curt A-20 5th wheel hitch perfectly it sounds like everything is fitting as designed. The wedge is bolted to the pin box and it being installed into the 5th wheel hitch head is what is keeping the king pin from being able to rotate. Due to how the king pin sits in the hitch the wedge can't touch the king pin or it would not fit the hitch tightly. I included a...

- Can Mopar 30k Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used with SidewinderThe Mopar 30k hitch you have is the A-Series and the 20k is the Q-Series. Since the A Series is compatible with the Sidewinders you'd just need the wedge part # C16992.
view full answer... - How is the Custom Wedge for Curt A16/A20 5th Wheel Hitches Different from the Universal WedgeThe universal wedge # 201100 that comes with the Sidewinder is designed to fit as many hitches as possible which means that it isn't a great fit for any one hitch. Wedge # C16992 for the Curt A series 5th wheel hitches is designed to fit those hitches specifically meaning a better fit than the universal wedge can give. This means that when you use the custom wedge with the appropriate hitch the Sidewinder will function better without any slop between the wedge and the hitch.
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Wedge for Curt A16 Hitch and Revolution Pin BoxCurt changed their 5th wheel hitch model designations from the Q Series to the A Series and so for your A16 hitch the wedge you'll use is part # C16992 which will bolt on to your Revolution pin box.
view full answer... - Is Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box Available To Replace Reese Revolution 10,000 Lb Pin BoxWith the excessive chucking and jarring you are experiencing, you have a few options. I was unable to find the model Revolution you said you have on your Fifth Wheel, and could not find a reference to the Lippert 38106 you said is on the pin box. I have attached a helpful article that explains how to measure your pin box mounting holes and dimensions to determine what replacement pin box is available. In the help article there is a chart that explains what pin boxes are available based...
view full answer... - Is Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Compatible with Reese Revolution Pin BoxYes, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140 referenced in your question is compatible with the 16K Reese Revolution Pin Box on your trailer. I do just recommend adding the Custom Wedge # C16992 to prevent the Revolution king pin from pivoting in the hitch. This will bolt right onto the Revolution and provide a much better fit for the Curt A20 than the universal wedge that may have come with the trailer. I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on both of these products...
view full answer... - Orientation of Wedge for Curt A16 and E16 Fifth Wheel Hitches on Sidewinder/Reese RevolutionI attached a picture that shows how the E16 wedge part # C16991 and Q16 wedge part # C16992 install on a Sidewinder or Reese Revolution pin box.

- Can Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch Be Used with Reese Revolution/Sidewinder Pin BoxThe Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch # C16120 will work well with your Reese Revolution pin box. The wedge you'd then want for the Revolution that's designed for this hitch is the part # C16992. With this setup you would have great turning clearance.
view full answer... - Is Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch For 2021 Ram 2500 w/ Pucks Compatible With Turning Point Pin BoxDefinitely a good idea to ask, and I can verify for you that yes, the Lippert Turning Point pin box that comes with your Rockwood Signature will 100 percent work with the Curt A25 hitch that fits your 2021 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system; the correct part number for that hitch is the following: - Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # C16046 This is a really smart choice for a hitch because the A-Series will give you a really comfortable ride relative to...
view full answer... - Which Wedge to Use with Curt A20 and Turning Point Pin BoxThe correct wedge to use with a Curt A20 # C16140 and a Turning Point Pin Box is the wedge # C16992 that you referenced.
view full answer... - Does Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Need to Be Used With Lippert Turning Point Rotating 5th Wheel Pin BoxA rotating pin box like the Lippert Turning Point will relocate the pivot point between the hitch and pin box 22 inches rearward, from the point where the king pin locks into the hitch jaws to the point where the pin box turret attaches to the 5th wheel. This adds 22 inches of additional clearance, which will eliminate the need for a sliding hitch on short bed trucks. If you already have a sliding hitch, you can certainly still use it, but you'll want to be sure that the hitch stays in...
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2018 Ram 3500 Short Bed with Factory Prep and SidewinderFor your 2018 Ram 3500 short bed with the factory prep package to use with a Sidewinder pin box on the trailer I highly recommend the Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch # C16046, paired with the Custom Wedge # C16992. This is an excellent hitch that features an interlocking 2-jaw system to provide 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact. What this actually does, other than creating an extremely secure connection to the trailer, is greatly reduce the rattle and movement at the hookup point that you see...

- Recommended Wedge for Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch and Moryde Orbitail Pin BoxFor your Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch # C16521, I recommend the Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C16992. This custom wedge replaces the universal wedge that came with your Moryde Orbitail Rotating Pin Box and works much more effectively to limit/prevent the king pin from pivoting in your A16 hitch by providing a considerably more secure fit, which is exactly what you're looking for.
view full answer... - Does Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch Have Bed Rail Clearance on 2021 Ford F-250 w/ Pucks & Rotating Pin BoxThe most important aspect here is that you are using a rotating pin box, the Lippert Turning Point. With the Turning Point, the rotation occurs at the pin box turret instead of the hitch, so it moves the pivot point back and raises it up. Simply put, because you have a rotating pin box, you will not have any clearance issues with the bed rails of your 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the factory puck system and the Curt 5th wheel hitch you mentioned: - Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch...
