What Is The Jaw Opening Dimension On The Gen-Y Safety Chain GY49GR  

Updated 08/07/2024 | Published 08/03/2024

Question:

What is the jaw opening dimension on the hook? I have the Gen-Y 5inch Offset Kingpin along with the Curt Safety Chain Loops. I saw a video that recommended something larger than 5/16inch jaw opening to get the safety chain hook onto the Curt Loops.

Hello Michael. I was able to get the dimension of the hook opening on the Gen-Y Safety Chain # GY49GR. The hook opening is roughly 1.25". I edited a picture to for you to help illustrate.

Thank you Jesse. That's a good data point, but I'm more interested in the dimension of the opening at the safety clip...I don't think something 1.2 inches wide will go into the hook because of the safety clip. Would you be able to hold the clip open as if something was being placed on the hook and measure that opening width? Thank you!

@MichaelM Gotcha. I measured again and with the clip open it is just under 1". 7/8" might be more accurate. Much larger than the 5/16" jaw opening you are looking for.
