Keep your RV slide-out running flush and true. The Lippert V-Tech 167689 is a factory-replacement adjustable flush head assembly sized at 2 in. x 2 in., designed to hold slide room panels in proper alignment during travel and while extended. If your slide is dragging, misaligned, or showing uneven gaps at the flush face, this is the wear component to inspect first.
Lippert's V-Tech slide-out mechanism is one of the most common rack-and-pinion slide systems found in production travel trailers and fifth wheels. The flush head assembly sits at the outer face of the slide room and controls how cleanly the panel seats against the coach sidewall when retracted. Over time, road vibration, uneven terrain, and normal wear can cause the flush head to lose its adjustment or sustain physical damage.
This adjustable version allows a technician or capable DIYer to fine-tune the flush face position after installation, which is critical for maintaining a proper seal and preventing water intrusion or wind noise at the slide perimeter.
Fine-tune flush face position after mounting to dial in precise panel-to-wall alignment on Lippert V-Tech slide systems.
Direct drop-in size for V-Tech slide rooms using the standard 2 x 2 flush head mounting location.
Manufactured by Lippert -- the same company that built the original system -- so fit and function match factory spec.
Proper flush head adjustment helps the slide seal compress evenly, reducing air and water infiltration at the slide perimeter.
The flush head is the interface point between the slide room structure and the coach wall opening. When the slide retracts, the flush head face contacts the interior wall or seal surface, creating a weather-resistant closure. If the flush head is worn, broken, or out of adjustment, you may notice:
This assembly is designed for Lippert V-Tech rack-and-pinion slide-out systems using a 2 in. x 2 in. flush head position. V-Tech slides are found in a wide range of production RVs from manufacturers including:
If your slide system carries Lippert branding on its motor, rail, or drive components and the existing flush head measures 2 in. x 2 in. at the face, this is the correct replacement assembly. When in doubt, compare your existing flush head dimensions and mounting hole pattern before ordering.
Replacing a flush head assembly on a V-Tech slide is a moderate DIY task. The slide room typically needs to be in the extended position to access the flush head mounting hardware. Steps generally include:
