Demco 14190-72 Universal Frame Bracket Black Texture 5th Wheel Hitch

The Demco 14190-72 is a universal frame bracket designed for use in 5th wheel hitch frame bracket kit assemblies. Finished in a durable black textured coating, this bracket mounts beneath the truck bed and attaches directly to the truck's frame, providing a solid and secure attachment point for above-bed 5th wheel base rails.

Frame brackets are a critical component in any 5th wheel hitch installation. Rather than bolting a hitch directly to the truck bed floor, frame brackets transfer the tongue weight and towing forces directly to the truck's steel chassis — the structural member designed to handle those heavy loads. This protects the truck bed from warping or tearing under the stress of towing.

Key Features:

• Universal frame bracket for 5th wheel hitch installations
• Black textured finish for corrosion resistance and clean appearance
• Sold as an individual bracket — typically 6 brackets used per complete frame bracket kit
• Designed for use with Demco frame bracket kits such as the 8553006 series
• Compatible with 1/2"-NC x 1-3/4" Grade 5 knurled hex bolts (part 14266), 1/2" lock washers (part 00084), and 1/2" NC hex nuts (part 00083)
• Installs onto the truck frame using existing or drilled mounting holes

This bracket is a genuine Demco replacement or service part, ideal for completing or repairing a 5th wheel frame bracket kit. Refer to Demco installation instructions for proper placement and torque specifications.
