• Troubleshooting Use of 5th Wheel Wedge for Revolution Pin Box and Curt A16 Hitch
  5th wheel wedge # C16992 is the correct one for your Curt A16 hitch to allow use of a Revolution pivoting pin box. Since one of the two bolts sheared off it sounds like the initial installation left one of the bolts too loose (the one that did not break). This would have placed all of the force on the other bolt, resulting in it breaking. Custom wedges like C16992 will provide a better fit than universal wedges, if adjusted to the correct position. There is a small adjustment range in...

• Recommended Reese Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A25 5th Wheel Hitch
  The Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C16992 is the same wedge that is used for the A25 model as well. I reached out to my tech contact at Curt to confirm. The A-Series hitch heads all have the same connection dimensions, so the custom wedge will be far better than the universal fit.

• Can Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch Work With Revolution Pin Box
  If the Curt fifth wheel hitch you have is a slider, it will have to be locked in the forward position so that it does not slide to be able to work with the Revolution pin box. If it is a stationary hitch it will work fine. You will need the Sidewinder Wedge # C16992 to prevent the king pin from rotating in your Curt A16 fifth-wheel trailer hitch.

• Custom Wedge for Lippert Turning Point Pin Box and Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch in 2018 Nissan Titan XD
  I have exactly what you need to use the Turning Point pin box with your Curt A16 5th wheel trailer hitch. It is custom wedge # C16992.

• Should Lube Plate be Use with Sidewinder/Reese Revolution Pin Box
  You actually aren't supposed to use a lube plate with a Reese Revolution/Sidewinder pin box. Because the pin box doesn't turn in the hitch head you'd only need to grease the wedge and king pin and you'd be fine. Since they are not necessary, lube plates were not designed to work with Sidewinders.

• Can Curt Sidewinder Wedge Fit on Lippert Turning Point Swiveling Pin Box
  While the Curt wedge # C16992 has not been officially confirmed as a fit for the Lippert Turning Point pin box I am confident that it will work. Other customers have successfully used the custom wedges with the Turning Point pin box. The Turning Point pin box is basically the same concept as the Revolution or Sidewinder pin boxes with the only difference being how each one swivels.

• Does Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A Series Have a Warranty
  It is really unusual for a wedge to come apart so I'm surprised this happened as I've never heard of this occurring. In regards to the warranty though, I checked with Curt, and the Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # C16992 does indeed have a lifetime warranty.

• How Tight Should Wedge Be On Lippert Turning Point Pin Box to Hitch Jaw
  3/16 of an inch is a solid amount of gap that's not too lose and not too tight. Basically you wanted as tight as you can get without causing it to become difficult to connect or disconnect so what you are doing now seems to be correct from what I am reading.

• Is Custom Wedge for Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch Better than Universal Wedge
  If you have the universal wedge installed currently and you are happy with how it fits the hitch and the ease of connection to your hitch when hitching up then you are totally fine to stay with what you have now. If you want something that is going to probably fit a bit tighter to the hitch head which would translate into less noise when travelling and also might be a little easier to hitch up to then the custom wedge part # C16992 would be a worthwhile upgrade.

• Is Curt Wedge For A-Series 5th Wheel Hitches Supposed To Touch Pin Box King Pin?
  I would be happy to help! Based on your description of the Custom Wedge # C16992 being 1/4" from the king pin and fitting your Curt A-20 5th wheel hitch perfectly it sounds like everything is fitting as designed. The wedge is bolted to the pin box and it being installed into the 5th wheel hitch head is what is keeping the king pin from being able to rotate. Due to how the king pin sits in the hitch the wedge can't touch the king pin or it would not fit the hitch tightly. I included a...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Wedge for Curt A16 Hitch and Revolution Pin Box
  Curt changed their 5th wheel hitch model designations from the Q Series to the A Series and so for your A16 hitch the wedge you'll use is part # C16992 which will bolt on to your Revolution pin box.

• How is the Custom Wedge for Curt A16/A20 5th Wheel Hitches Different from the Universal Wedge
  The universal wedge # 201100 that comes with the Sidewinder is designed to fit as many hitches as possible which means that it isn't a great fit for any one hitch. Wedge # C16992 for the Curt A series 5th wheel hitches is designed to fit those hitches specifically meaning a better fit than the universal wedge can give. This means that when you use the custom wedge with the appropriate hitch the Sidewinder will function better without any slop between the wedge and the hitch.

  I reached out to Air Safe who informed me that they recommend using the Replacement Universal Wedge # 201100 with their hitch. As we do not carry their hitch I have to refer you to their recommendation as we cannot test fit the wedge without having the hitch.

• Recommended Custom Wedge for Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch and Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
  The correct custom wedge for your Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140 is the Sidewinder Wedge # C16992.

• Is Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Compatible with Reese Revolution Pin Box
  Yes, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140 referenced in your question is compatible with the 16K Reese Revolution Pin Box on your trailer. I do just recommend adding the Custom Wedge # C16992 to prevent the Revolution king pin from pivoting in the hitch. This will bolt right onto the Revolution and provide a much better fit for the Curt A20 than the universal wedge that may have come with the trailer. I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on both of these products...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For Revolution Pin Box To Reduce Jarring And Chucking
  I reached out to the manufacturer of your Revolution 10K and that particular model is made uniquely for your trailer. In other words it is not a pin box that can use another style of pin box, it is custom made for your trailer. There is a replacement available if you ever have an issue with yours, but it is a direct exchange for the same Revolution model. There is nothing else that fits. If you decide you don't want to use the revolution turning function, you can lock it out with bolts...

  There is a wedge now that does work with the Curt A20 hitch part # C16140 for that you would want the part # C16992. The hitch was redesigned by Curt and they tested it to determine that it now does work just fine with the Sidewinder pin boxes. The head of the system would not wear out prematurely.
