Video Transcript for The Low-Down on the Demco Trailer Coupler w/ 5-Position Adjustable Channel

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a look at this Demco trailer coupler with adjustable channel. Now this cast ball coupler is going to let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle giving you a connection point for your two and five sixteenths inch hitch ball. This easy latch mechanism is going to ensure simple secure hookup and disconnect letting you even hook up when the latch is in the closed position as it is now. You're just going to drop the coupler over the hitch ball and that latch is going to snap into place. So I wanna give you a brief demonstration of that. This is a two and five sixteenth inch hitch ball.

Obviously this is going to work easier when you have this actually mounted and installed but I just wanna show you how this will latch with that. This will connect with the latch closed so as you can see, a nice secure connection. And then to lift to disconnect you're just gonna lift this latch up and that's gonna let you remove the coupler from the ball. Now this has a corrosion proof polymer nylon resin composite latch handle that's durable and impact resistant. And the sleek low profile design is going to allow hazards to simply slip over the top of the coupler preventing damage to the latch components.

Now this coupler has a zinc finish which is going to give you that corrosion resistance with up to a 300 hour salt spray rating. Now the dimensions of this coupler the overall length of the coupler, and of course we have a portion of it inside of this channel. But the overall length from end to end we're sitting at about eight and one eighth inches long. And then the overall width of this coupler is two and seven eighths inches wide. And it, as you can see, I have it mounted into this three inch channel.

The you can install a pin lock if you so desire or a lock pin, and the diameter of that lock pin hole is five sixteenths of an inch and your lock would need to have a minimum span of three inches. And if you don't have a pin lock, we do have those options here at etrailer.com. Now this channel bracket is going to let you adjust the coupler's height to match different tow vehicles. And as you can see, this provides six mounting holes on each side, offering five mounting positions. And let me go ahead and retrieve my ruler here and just give you some overall measurements that might prove helpful for you.

So the overall height of this channel is 12 inches tall and then the width is three inches as you can see there. And the wall thickness is three eighths of an inch. And these mounting holes measure on center. Let's see if I can line that up here for you. As you can see, center to center of the mounting holes measure two inches on center. Now I do have this coupler loosely bolted to the bracket with the included four grade five bolts which will give you a secure rattle free connection when you actually have this tightened down and you can see the lock nuts there and of course there's washers here so I don't have this locked down but when you have that tightened down this is going to be rattle free and a whole lot more secure than how you see it right now. But I just wanted to give you an example of what this is going to look like when you have it all connected. Now this is made here in the USA of a sturdy steel construction that's gonna give you a weight capacity of 20,000 pounds. This is SAE J684 certified. And instructions are included to walk you through the simple installation process. Well that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
