Nilight 2" x 7" Weld-On Hitch Adapter Receiver Tube - Raw Steel, 5/8" Pin, Reinforced Collar

Nilight's 2" x 7" weld-on hitch adapter is a raw-steel receiver tube designed to accept standard 2" x 2" shanks for custom towing or fabrication projects.

This heavy-duty Nilight receiver extension arrives unpainted and ready for welding, giving fabricators, mechanics, and DIYers a simple, robust way to add a 2" trailer hitch opening where one doesn't exist. Built from quality steel and fitted with a 1/2" reinforcement collar at the mouth, this combo bar is sized to accept typical ball mounts, hitch-mounted accessories, and tow hooks while providing a solid base for long-term use.

How strong and durable is this weld-on hitch receiver?

The adapter is made from quality steel and includes a 1/2" reinforcement collar at the opening to resist deformation when accessories are inserted. Because it ships as raw steel it can be welded into a vehicle frame, bumper, or custom mount to create a permanent, heavy-duty connection point.

• Material: heavy-duty steel for dependable structural performance
• Reinforced mouth: 1/2" collar to prevent ovaling under load
• Weld-ready: raw-steel finish allows immediate welding without surface prep
• Hitch pin hole: 5/8" to secure accessories and ball mounts

Will this fit my existing hitch accessories and ball mounts?

Yes — the internal dimensions follow industry standards for a 2" x 2" receiver, so common shanks and accessories designed for 2" receivers will slide in and secure properly. Always verify your accessory's shank size and the 5/8" pin diameter to ensure compatibility before welding in place.

• Internal size: accepts standard 2" x 2" shanks
• Pin diameter: 5/8" hitch pin hole is included
• Length: 7" total receiver tube to accommodate most mounts
• Use cases: ball mounts, cargo carriers, tow hooks, and more

How is the adapter installed and prepared for welding?

The product is supplied with a raw, unpainted steel finish so you can position and tack-weld it exactly where you need a receiver. After aligning the tube on your frame, fully weld all contact surfaces and finish with primer and paint or undercoating to protect against corrosion.

• Preparation: clean contact areas, clamp and align before tack-welding
• Welding: full penetration welds recommended for structural strength
• Finish: apply corrosion protection after welding (primer/paint or undercoat)
• Safety: follow welding safety practices and local regulations

What dimensions and specs should I confirm before buying?

Confirm you need a 7" receiver tube length and that a 2" x 2" opening plus 5/8" pin hole match your accessories. Because the unit is weld-on, ensure the intended mounting surface is compatible with welding and can support towing loads if you plan to use it for towing-related tasks.

• Overall tube length: 7 inches (total length)
• Receiver size: 2" x 2" internal dimensions
• Pin hole: 5/8" diameter
• Finish: raw steel, ready for welding and finishing

It’s ideal for permanent or semi-permanent installations where a welded, heavy-duty receiver is preferred over bolt-on options, and for anyone assembling custom towing, utility, or accessory mounts.
