Today, you're going to be taking a look at the Brophy mounting bracket for four-pole flat trailer connectors. That's going to be part number BK4F.So here's what our four-pole bracket's going to look like once we have it installed. It's going to allow us to have our four-pole wiring right by our hitch. That way whenever we get ready to tow, we can plug right up. This is going to be a lot better solution to secure our wire rather than just hanging it on our hitch or securing it to our safety chain connection point because we don't have to worry about our wires hanging down and possibly getting damaged.Our bracket is going to work with most four-pole standards plugs, and even if we remove the dust cap, you can see it's not going to fall back in even if we have to really push to plug in our trailer. Installing it is going to be as simple as putting two bolts in and running your four-pole connection through the bracket.
Let's show you how to do that now.Our four-pole bracket is going to have two holes on it, so we can either mount it to our hitch or another bracket so we can put our wiring in place. Keep in mind that our bracket's not going to come with any hardware, but if you are using a short or long bracket, there will be hardware with that kit. So I'm going to drop down my hardware from on top of the bracket. I'll line up the hole in my four-pole bracket, and I'll do that for the other hole as well. Then I'll come back and tighten up all the hardware.Now, you just want to take the dust cap off your four-pole, and coming from the back side, we'll push it through.
You just want to make sure that you push it in far enough that the tabs on there are going to catch. This will prevent it from going back in. I'm just going to have to work it back and forth a little bit. Then we can tie up any of the excess wires behind the hitch, and we can even put a little bit of electrical tape to hide the color on the back of our car.That'll finish up your look at the Brophy mounting bracket for four-pole flat trailer connectors, part number BK4F.

Bracket for 4-way flat trailer connector mounts to your trailer hitch or vehicle bumper and provides a sturdy, fixed location to easily connect your trailer wiring.Had this bracket installed the same time I had a hitch and wiring harness installed. It fit well and holds the connector firmly. It sure beats wrapping the wires around the hitch.
Jon S - 11/15/2021Simple but effective means to hold connector. I taped everything for more secure and professional looking mounting.
Works well for my application. It was difficult to put the 4 prong flat into the bracket, but with a little help from liquid soap, I got it done. In retrospect, I should have mounted it under the bumper instead of by the ball, but it is made of good metal and will/has held up nicely. Mike
The page for this bracket doesn't mention that it goes with another bracket (short or long). It also should mention that it doesn't come with the attaching hardware for installation without the other brackets (namely, 2 self-tapping screws).
It works ok,but does not hold the connector very tied. I drilled and taped two 8/32 holes .to add two screws to hold the connector when I plug the trailer into it
Robert W - 09/15/2021The bracket worked great mounting on the underside of the Ford Transit rear bumper inertia dampener. It mounted with a couple of self tapping screws. It holds the 4 lead connector nicely, and the dust guard works great. Very pleased with it's look and serviceability.
It doesn’t hold the connector in place very well. Have to hold it in place to connect and disconnect
Items purchased, Draw-tite trailer hitch and Tekonsha wiring kit for our 2020 Equinox. This was my first encounter with etrailer, and I must say I was impressed. From the initial order placement, I knew where my order was while in route and exactly when it would arrive. I had previously watched the installation videos on both products and they could not have been clearer. Total time from opening boxes, to tools put away was less than 2 hours. All parts are of quality materials and fitment along with reasonable prices. While this may have been my first experience with etrailer, it certainly will not be my last. Thanks to all for making everything go smoothly.
Missing 1 screw in package and no instr uctions.

It's not that expensive to include 2 nuts and bolts to connect the clip to the trailer hitch.Other wise it is a great clip and the 4 wire connector fit perfectly.Thanks.
Works great to secure my plug. It didn’t come with any fasteners though which was disappointing.
Sierra K - 06/17/2021Great little item to clean up the look of the trailer hitch
No more dangling connector, can use one hand to plug into.
Perfect fit for my 2017 Buck Enclave AW D.
Although it says it fits my jeep it looks like I need the larger bracket to attach it to.
Simple Bracket. Went to the auto parts store and bought some U-Nuts and Screws to make a clean installation.
Works well as advertised. Had it a year with no issues…
Works as advertised. Does a great job of keeping the trailer wiring connector in place and safe from snagging and rubbing. I recommend this item.
Did not want to drill holes in my bumper so did not use. Would be nice if it could be bolted directly on the hitch. But the bracket itself was as described, no issues there.
Heather A - 11/11/2020A little flimsy, but it did the job.
Very easy to install and works as it sh ould!
great little set up, But, it should have bolts with it , it's a pain to get the right size(small) bolts. other than that good idea.
Leonard - 07/25/2021Everything looks to be of good quality but I haven’t installed any of it yet.
Shipped fast.
