B&W Hitches Safety Chain Kit Gooseneck / Fifth Wheel Towing B&W Hitches 1900-2-1600 Safety Chain Kit -- The Backup Connection That Keeps Your Trailer Where It Belongs

Federal regulations require a safety chain or cable as a secondary connection between your tow vehicle and trailer. The B&W Hitches 1900-2-1600 Safety Chain Kit gives you a code-compliant, purpose-built solution designed to work with B&W gooseneck hitch systems. Compact enough to store in your tow vehicle, simple enough to rig in minutes, and tough enough to hold under real-world emergency loads.

A Safety Chain Kit Built for Serious Towing

Not all safety chains are created equal. B&W Hitches engineers this kit to pair with their gooseneck ball and receiver hitch systems, so you get hardware that is sized and rated to match the rest of your towing setup -- not a generic chain grabbed off a peg hook.

Whether you are pulling a gooseneck livestock trailer, flatbed, or equipment hauler, this kit installs quickly and gives you and your co-pilot peace of mind on every run. It is also a smart spare to keep in the truck for friends or employees who borrow your rig.

Designed for B&W Gooseneck Systems

Engineered to complement B&W gooseneck hitches and ball systems for a matched, properly rated secondary connection.

Federal Compliance Ready

Meets federal towing regulations requiring a safety chain or cable backup on trailer connections.

Compact and Storable

At just 1.0 lb and packaged in an 8.5 x 5.0 x 1.5 inch footprint, this kit stores easily in a truck toolbox or cab storage.

Quality B&W Construction

B&W Hitches is known for precision-machined, heavy-duty towing hardware made in the USA. This chain kit carries that same commitment to quality.

Where This Kit Fits in the B&W Lineup

B&W Hitches produces a broad family of gooseneck and fifth wheel hitch products under the Turnoverball, Companion, and OEM-specific lines. The 1900-2-1600 safety chain kit is an accessory item intended to provide the required secondary connection for gooseneck ball hitch setups. It is not a ball mount, hitch head, or gooseneck receiver -- it is the chain assembly that serves as your last line of defense if the primary coupler were to separate.

If you already own a B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch (such as the GNRK1012, GNRK1013, or other truck-specific models) and need to add or replace the safety chain component, this kit is the correct B&W replacement or add-on part.

Why Safety Chains Matter: FMCSA and state DOT regulations require safety chains or cables on most trailer types. In the unlikely event of coupler failure or accidental unhitching, properly crossed safety chains can keep the trailer from separating entirely from the tow vehicle, preventing catastrophic loss of control.

Installation and Setup Tips

  • Route safety chains in a crossed-X pattern under the hitch coupler or gooseneck ball when connecting -- this cradles the coupler if it drops.
  • Allow enough slack for turns without dragging the chains on the ground at full articulation.
  • Inspect chain links and hooks before every trip for cracks, deformation, or corrosion.
  • Replace any chain that shows signs of wear, cracking, or link elongation -- do not use a compromised safety chain.
  • Check your trailer's GVWR against the chain kit's working load limit to confirm the kit is rated for your load.
Maintenance Tip: Clean and lightly oil chain links once a season, especially if you operate in salted road conditions. A quick wipe-down after winter towing extends chain life significantly and keeps hooks from seizing.
Gooseneck vs. Conventional Trailer Safety Chains: Gooseneck trailers use a ball-and-coupler connection inside the truck bed rather than a conventional ball hitch at the rear bumper. Safety chain attachment points on a gooseneck setup are typically on the gooseneck hitch frame or the underside of the ball housing. Always route chains through or around designated anchor points -- never just around a cross-member that is not rated for chain loads.
Frequently Paired With: B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch systems (GNRK series), B&W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitches, and B&W gooseneck-to-fifth-wheel adapter kits.

Important Information -- Read Before Use
  • Always verify the working load limit (WLL) of this chain kit against your trailer's actual Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) before towing. Never use a chain rated below your trailer's GVWR.
  • Safety chains are a backup device only -- they are not a substitute for a properly latched and functioning trailer coupler.
  • Cross chains in an X pattern under the hitch point when connecting. Chains that hang straight down provide significantly less protection in a separation event.
  • Inspect hooks, chain links, and attachment hardware before every tow. Do not use damaged, cracked, or heavily corroded chains.
  • This kit is designed for gooseneck towing applications. Verify hook and link sizing is compatible with your specific hitch anchor points before use.
  • Check your state and local DOT regulations for specific safety chain requirements, as rules on chain count, rating, and routing can vary by jurisdiction and trailer type.
