According to the installation instructions of the Husky Silver Series 16K W 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # HT31326-31314 which are attached for you, "Install Head & Yoke with pivot pin, washer and castle nut. Tighten the castle nut until all the fore and aft movement is eliminated in the pivot pin and in the head and yoke assembly. This may require 2 ¼” wrench or pipe wrench. Continue to tighten the castle nut until the safety pin can be inserted. Close the clip on the safety pin to secure the nut".
Therefore no, there is no torque specification for the castle nut.
