A direct-replacement idler hub built for trailer axles rated up to 2,200 lbs. The 814196 ships fully assembled with bearing cones, seal, and grease already installed -- mount it and roll. Solid iron construction and a 5 on 4.5-inch bolt pattern make this a common-fitment hub for single- and tandem-axle RV trailers using 13- to 15-inch wheels.
When a bearing failure or damaged hub takes your trailer off the road, the last thing you want is a multi-day parts search. Lippert engineered the 814196 as a bolt-on solution: the hub arrives pre-greased and pre-assembled with all internal components, so installation is straightforward even roadside or in the field.
The solid iron hub body resists the flex and stress that lighter cast housings can develop over time. The 1/2-inch wheel studs are sized for the lug nuts already on most trailer tires in this wheel-size range, and the 6.5-inch flange diameter is compatible with standard trailer brake drums and dust caps for this axle class.
Durable iron hub body handles the radial and thrust loads of towing without flex or fatigue cracking common to lighter alloys.
Bearing cones, seal, and grease are installed at the factory. No press, no packing tools needed -- remove old hub, install new one.
Matches the most common 5-lug trailer wheel bolt pattern. Compatible with 13- to 15-inch trailer tires and wheels.
Backed by Lippert's limited 1-year manufacturer warranty. Lippert components are stocked by dealers nationwide for warranty support.
The 814196 is designed for trailer axles -- travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, boat trailers, and utility trailers -- using a 5 on 4.5-inch bolt pattern and an axle weight rating of 2,200 lbs per axle. It is an idler hub, meaning it is used on non-braked (free-rolling) axle ends. If your axle uses electric drum brakes, you need a brake hub assembly, not this part.
Wheel compatibility spans 13- to 15-inch trailer wheels, which covers the majority of lighter single-axle and tandem-axle trailers in this weight class. The 6.5-inch hub flange diameter is standard for this axle rating and works with matching trailer lug nuts and wheel hardware.
An idler hub contains no brake hardware. It mounts on axle ends that rely on brakes at other wheel positions (common on the front axle of a tandem setup) or on trailers with no wheel brakes at all. If your axle end currently has a brake drum and an electric brake magnet, you need a brake hub and drum assembly instead. Check your existing hub before ordering.
