I spoke with my contact over at Brophy about stainless steel hitch ball # SC23-C and found out that the included nut and washer are not stainless steel but do have a zinc plating. This is common for stainless steel balls. The hardware used to secure the ball isn't stainless.

2 “ brophy ss ball. You said it does not come with ss nut and lock washer. Is there a reason? Cost? Torque specs? Mine is coming today and was going to replace with ss nut and washer. Comments
