Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a brief look at this B&W two and five 16 inch hitch ball. This hitch ball is going to give you a connection point for your trailer's coupler and it has fine threads, actually 12 threads per inch, that's going to give you a tight and strong grip. And this is made here in the USA of heat treated steel, so it's strong and durable. It has a weight capacity of 30,000 pounds and it does have a raw steel finish to it. Now you are going to get this two and five 16 inch hitch ball.
The lock washer and the nut are also included. And if we take a measurement of the shank length from the bottom of the platform to the end of the threads, lining up my ruler there. Looks like we're sitting right at two and a half inches. And then just the threaded portion, we are sitting right at, right about one and three quarters of an inch. And then the shank diameter is going to be right at one and a quarter inches.
Now when installing this, you're just going to place this through the ball hole on your ball mount, followed by the lock washer that goes underneath and then the nut. And then you would just need to torque this down to the specifications listed by your manufacturer. Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy.
Thank you for joining me..

Every time I hook up a trailer Im really glad that I purchased this product in lieu of another. Not any sign of wear or fatigue after thousands of miles of towing. For a few dollars more, well worth it.

Put over 10k towing miles on it - still good. Surface rust because its unpainted, but thats going to happen with raw, unpainted steel in the Northeast. I keep the top half greased with Amsoil off-road 2, and all is well.

I never had a problem with the ball as long as it was greased. I would still be using it if someone hadnt stolen it and the truck it was attached to. It is a little over priced now with better pricing on balls that are just as good with lower ratings. Unless you really need a 30K rated ball for your gooseneck a 17K rated ball will do the same thing for less money.
