Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Dexter Galvanized 12-inch trailer hub and drum assembly for 6,000 pound axles. Has the six and 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now this is a marine grade trailer hub and drum assembly. It'll provide the surface area for your brake shoes to grip when your brakes are activated. And if I spin this around just to show you the back of it right here, you can see if you're using the hydraulic drum brakes, then the shoes are gonna apply right here.

If you're gonna use it with the electric brakes, then you're gonna see where the magnet will apply right here. So this is compatible with both electric and hydraulic drum brakes. And if you notice, this part does come with all the extras there that I have laid out on the table. It'll come with both the inner and outer bearings. Comes with the bearing races that are already pre-installed into the assembly.

Comes with the grease seal. Comes with the grease cap, and it comes with six of the half inch by 20 size lug nuts for attaching your wheel and tire assembly to this. Now the part numbers for all these parts if you do want them, they are listed on the product page at the bottom of the page. Now this is a sturdy iron construction. If you notice it uses a Gal dex finish on it, which is actually a zinc coating that has a 500 hour salt spray rating.

So this is ideal for use on a boat or snowmobile trailer and it's durable enough for saltwater applications. Again, the application for this one is 6,000 pound trailer axles with the number 42 spindle. The wheel sizes that'll fit on this is 14 1/2 inch up to 16 1/2 inch diameter. The drum dimension, if we spin this around again, the dimension on this, if we measure inside this side to this side, is gonna be 12 inches. The width of two inches is gonna be the width right here and this will work with 12 inch by two inch brake assemblies.

Now the bolt pattern on this, spin it back around to the front here, you can see as a six on five 1/2 inch bolt pattern. The wheel lug size that fits on this is a 1/2 inch by 20 and the weight capacity on this is 3000 pounds per assembly. So when used with one on the other side, it'll meet the 6,000 pound axle rating. But that should do it for the review on this Dexter Galvanized 12-inch Trailer Hub and drum assembly for 6,000 pound axles with the six on 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern.
