Upgrade your Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch with the Snap L-Pin -- a one-piece snap-click replacement for the older two-piece L-pin and cotter clip combination. Easier to engage, quieter on the road, and just as secure as the hardware it replaces.
The original Equal-i-zer L-pin system required a separate cotter pin and clip to lock the pin in place after securing the weight distribution bars to the L-brackets. The Snap L-Pin eliminates that extra hardware entirely. A built-in snap-click mechanism locks the pin in a single downward motion and releases just as cleanly when you need to remove it.
The redesigned geometry allows the Snap L-Pin to ride slightly above the weight distribution arm rather than bearing directly against it. That small clearance translates to noticeably quieter performance during normal highway towing and especially during slow, tight turns -- a common complaint with older-style pins.
Pin and retention clip are integrated into a single unit. No separate cotter pin or retaining clip to lose or fumble with at the campsite.
Push down to lock, lift to release. Securing both weight distribution bars to the L-brackets now takes one step instead of two.
Pin rides slightly above the WD arm, reducing metal-on-metal contact noise during maneuvering and tight turns.
Manufactured to Equal-i-zer quality standards. Direct replacement for the two-piece L-pin originally shipped with Equal-i-zer hitches.
The Snap L-Pin is a direct upgrade replacement for the original Equal-i-zer L-pin that used a separate cotter pin and retaining clip. If your hitch currently requires you to seat the L-pin and then secure it with a secondary clip, this pin eliminates that second step. The pin fits the same L-bracket geometry and provides equivalent holding strength -- just with simplified one-handed operation.
One of the most common complaints about standard L-pins is rattling or clunking during turns, particularly at low speeds in campgrounds or tight parking lots. The Snap L-Pin's slight above-arm riding position creates a small amount of float that absorbs minor movement rather than transmitting it as noise. Highway towing character remains the same -- this is not a structural change, just a geometry refinement.
The 14-2690 Snap L-Pin is designed for standard Equal-i-zer 4-point sway control weight distribution hitches that use L-bracket pin retention. It is a direct replacement for the original two-piece L-pin and cotter clip hardware on those systems.
