Today we're going to be reviewing part #PK11771. This is the Pollak bracket for single pole trailer wiring socket, part #PK11851. This socket bracket is going to provide an easy mounting option for your single pole connector socket. The bracket includes a machined large hole right here for the socket to fit in. It's also going to have many other machine holes that are going to allow the bracket to attach to your vehicle frame, and they are going to assist in mounting the socket to the actual bracket. Now it's going to work with a variety of Pollack sockets such as part #PK11404, PK11609, PK11720, PK12720 and PK12801.
This is made from a nice steel construction so it's strong and durable. The diameter of this large hole here in the center take a measurement of that real quick. That's going to give us a measurement of 2 inches. The smaller holes here are going to have a diameter of 1/4 inch. These holes right here are going to give us a measurement of 5/8 inch x looks to be about 5/16 of an inch. So these are going to measure 5/8 x 5/16 and then the measurement that we have center-on-center the distance between those 2 holes is going to measure 2-1/4 of an inch.
Taking a measurement of the overall width is going to be about 3-5/8 of an inch. Then measuring in this direction, it looks like it's going to be around 3 inches. That's going to do it for our review of part #PK11771. This is the Pollak bracket for the single pole trailer wiring socket part #PK11851 but it also works with a variety of other Pollak sockets as well. .
Order was recieved quickly and correctly,very pleased,
The bracket itself was exactly as expected-- however! IT IS NOT BLACK! IT IS SHINY CHROME! It does not match my truck.
I didn't end up using it, YET, but it is exactly what I wanted, and it fits the 7-round receptacle I bought from you. I'm currently renting a trailer with 7-blade on it, so not swapping receptacle just yet. I guess I didn't need to rush it and pay shipping for it separately, but it was a safety precaution, I thought the rental would use 7-round, like other rentals in my area. This fits 3" spacing holes.
While the product is of good quality, it has one flaw. There is not sufficient space between the opening for the connector and the top where it needs to fasten to the vehicle. It might be suitable for some small connectors, but it is definitely not suited for ones like the Buyer's Products 2-Way Die-Cast Zinc Trailer Connnector - Truck Side - Vertical Pin Arrangement. I had purchased it because I did not see any other mounting brackets. I am in the process of making a spacer to provide more room at the top for the connector's door to open.
Other than that, it looks great and should hold up well. Just be aware of the limited room at the top.
I've got that trailer that has had one tough life. Yep, hundreds of gigs, PA and sound equipment rolling in and out, the heat, the cold, the sun, rain, and snow. Chicks, guitar players and drummers, you know, all the things that beat the hell out of a drum! Thank the music Gods for etrailer.com!

my name is scott from tn. i bought 3 sets of the pollak #11-402ep 4-way sockets.and.the 11-402-ep 4-way or 4 wire plugs with the pollak brackets for single pole trailer wiring socket (pk11851)-pk11771 part number .to get rid of three bad problems. one was the flat wire on my 18.5 ft bass boat. the factory wire was 20 inchs short so i had to find my extending that was always lost. by my friends and ect. i also bouht 14 foot of wire and the it took my abought 10 mins. to complemt.plus my trailers. the pollak brackets was so easy to mount to my ford truck bumper.and my other veh. plus the sockets and plugs. no problem looking for xts, and no wire coming unhook.the dielectric silicone compound made all joints waterproof and a good seal and many thanks to the workers at e trailer if you have a problem with trailer connects or need supply. it took less than 4 bussiness days to get my order. and thank you for the supplies.!!!!!! sorry for no pictures because their always being used.
This works but I wish it were just a little bit stiffer at the bend. I shove a 7 pin plug into it and it requires a little finesse. If the plug isn't perfectly aligned and you attempt to push the plug in then the bracket will tend to deflect a little bit. But it still works and nothing is wrong with it - so it's a "keeper".
SAME AS THE FIRST ONE
I just got home and my 4 mounting brackets were delivered on schedule. Now I can put my project together. Have been looking all over for these brackets, so glad that I found them on your website. Thanks for keeping me posted on my shipment and look forward to ordering other stuff from you.
Functions as advertised. Nothing more to say. I always appreciate the speedy service and delivery. Your products are top notch and prices reasonable.

Still works great.
Will not work with Pollak 5-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket, Concealed Terminals - Chrome - Vehicle End
I got exactly what I expected. Great customer service & follow through.

A handy bracket that is still in-use, though I wish it was a bit more rigid or made from heavier gauge steel, as it tends to bend a bit too easily.
Bracket was excellent quality and came quicker than expected. Item was exactly as described. It was packaged and shipped well. trailer.com worked their magic with shipping of this item. Great customer service!
These guys rock. We needed a 2 pin trailer connector with bracket asap. etrailer had the items in stock and got it shipped to me in record time. Thanks again!!!
Works Great to mount the trailer connector to the back of the vehicle. Looks nice and fits perfectly. We will order more in the future.
This stamped steel mounting bracket is very heavy duty. It fits the connector perfectly and has flexibility in mounting to the vehicle.
Connector fits but not a perfect fit and leaves the back exposed to wheel splash. Need to coat the back of the connector with RTV. Still works good and beats trying to make one.
Have not used it but it looks like it will work to mount my 7 way pin plug on my truck.
Had everything I needed to wire my Jeep Grand Cherokee. YouTube videos exist to help. There some surprisingly difficult places to route the wires along the frame.
Well-made product and fast shipping. r>Thanks.
I had trouble determining from the website if this bracket fit my socket. It does. It's a universal, I reall. I still had a bit of trouble associating it with my socket. I received it today and pleased I bought it.
Easy installation and the advice I received from Adam was spot on.
Very pleased with product. Easy to use and install
High quality part that fit my needs perfectly. Shipped in a timely manner. Would purchase from E Trailer in future. Great place to do business.
