Gen-Y Executive 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Safety Chain 3/8 x 84in Safety Chain

Grade 70 Safety Chain Built for the Forces a 5th Wheel Hitch Puts on Steel

The Gen-Y Executive GH-70684 is a 3/8-inch Grade 70 safety chain rated at 26,000 lb Working Load Limit, purpose-built for 5th wheel to gooseneck hitch conversions. At 84 inches (7 feet) of usable length, the GH-70684 provides the slack required to complete tight turns without binding the chain, while the two included safety slip hooks seat securely against standard gooseneck ball rings and 5th wheel king pin plates. Gen-Y designed this chain to the same standards they apply to their Executive towing systems, using heat-treated Grade 70 alloy steel throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Gen-Y GH-70684 safety chain is rated at 26,000 lb Working Load Limit. This meets or exceeds FMCSA safety chain requirements for most 5th wheel and gooseneck towing configurations.

The GH-70684 is sold as a single 84-inch Grade 70 chain with two safety slip hooks included. Most 5th wheel applications require two safety chains total, so order two units if your setup calls for a chain on each side.

The GH-70684 uses Grade 70 alloy steel, which is the standard grade specified for over-the-road towing safety chain applications. Grade 70 is stronger than Grade 43 and is the grade required for DOT-compliant commercial towing setups.

Yes. The GH-70684 is designed as a companion chain for the Gen-Y Executive 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter series. The slip hooks and chain length are matched to the geometry of Gen-Y adapter attachment points.

Yes. The GH-70684 is a universal Grade 70 safety chain. As long as your hitch has appropriate anchor points for the safety slip hooks, the GH-70684 can be used with any 5th wheel or gooseneck setup requiring a 3/8-inch Grade 70 chain.

The GH-70684 chain measures 84 inches (7 feet) in total length. This length is selected to allow full articulation through tight turns without the chain going taut or dragging on the ground under the trailer.

The GH-70684 chain and hooks have a bright zinc finish that provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for normal outdoor and road-salt exposure. For extended storage, lightly coat with a chain lubricant to prevent surface oxidation.

The GH-70684 is manufactured from Grade 70 steel and rated at 26,000 lb WLL, which satisfies FMCSA requirements for safety chain on trailers up to the rated Gross Trailer Weight. Always verify your specific towing configuration against applicable federal and state regulations.

Installation Instructions

1. Verify your 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch has designated safety chain anchor points rated for at least 26,000 lb.
2. Attach one safety slip hook to the first anchor point on the hitch and confirm the hook latch is fully closed.
3. Route the chain in a crossed pattern under the gooseneck ball or king pin plate as required by your hitch manufacturer.
4. Attach the second safety slip hook to the remaining anchor point and confirm latch closure.
5. Take up excess slack by looping the chain as needed, but leave enough length for full articulation in turns without going taut.
6. Inspect both hook latches and all links visually before each tow.
