<h3>About C.R. Brophy Machine Works</h3><p><strong>C.R. Brophy Machine Works, Inc.</strong> has been a trusted name in recreational vehicle and towing accessories since 1947. Based in the United States, Brophy is a dedicated manufacturer of hitch balls, ball mounts, and hitches, as well as a distributor of electrical connectors, safety chains, and a wide range of trailer hardware. Decades of focus on the towing industry have allowed Brophy to develop a product catalog that covers virtually every connection point between a tow vehicle and its trailer.</p><p>Brophy's reputation is built on practical engineering and adherence to recognized safety standards. All Brophy coupler balls, for example, comply with the safety specifications and requirements of SAE J684 — an important benchmark for anyone serious about safe towing. That commitment to standards-based manufacturing runs throughout the entire lineup, from heavy-duty safety chains to weight-distributing hitch systems.</p><h3>Towing Hardware Built for Real-World Use</h3><p>Whether you're hauling a travel trailer, a boat, or a utility trailer, the connection between your vehicle and your load is only as strong as its weakest component. Brophy addresses this reality with a broad selection of <a href="/7274-brophy-prod-ball-mountsreceivers-200129">ball mounts and receivers</a> that are reversible and adjustable, allowing you to dial in the correct ball height for any trailer configuration. Paired with their precisely engineered <a href="/7274-brophy-prod-trailer-hitch-ball-15369">trailer hitch balls</a> — available in multiple shank sizes and ball diameters — you can build a towing setup matched exactly to your rig's requirements.</p><p>For a complete hitch system, Brophy's <a href="/7274-brophy-prod-trailer-hitch-ball-mount-20006">trailer hitch ball mounts</a> are available across multiple classes and drop/rise configurations, including Class II and Class IV applications. The reversible designs add versatility, letting a single mount serve both raised and lowered trailer tongue heights. Completing the connection, Brophy's <a href="/7274-brophy-prod-trailer-balls-covers-201088">trailer balls and covers</a> round out the hitch assembly, protecting hardware from corrosion and wear between hauls.</p><p>Beyond the hitch itself, keeping your cargo secured on the road is equally critical. Brophy's <a href="/7274-brophy-prod-ratchet-tie-down-strap-17206">ratchet tie-down straps</a> bring the same no-nonsense durability to cargo control that the rest of the lineup applies to towing hardware — designed to hold firm under load and stand up to repeated use in demanding conditions.</p><h3>A Complete Towing Ecosystem</h3><p>One of Brophy's key strengths is the ability to source nearly every component of a towing system from a single, consistent manufacturer. From the receiver tube to the coupler ball, from tie-downs to weight-distributing bars, Brophy offers matched components that are engineered to work together. This makes it straightforward to ensure that every link in your towing chain meets the same quality standard. For RV owners, boat towers, and trailer operators who depend on their equipment day in and day out, that consistency is invaluable.</p>

Product Details

The Brophy Prod TCL3I is a heavy-duty trailer safety chain designed to keep your trailer securely connected to your towing vehicle in the event of hitch failure or accidental uncoupling. This essential towing safety component features a bright zinc finish for corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability.

Key Features:

  • 5/16-inch diameter grade 43 high-test chain for reliable strength
  • 48-inch working length (51 inches overall) provides adequate reach for most applications
  • Two latch-style "S" hooks with safety latches to prevent accidental disconnection
  • Meets California towing safety requirements with secure latch mechanism
  • Bright zinc-plated finish resists rust and corrosion
  • Sold as a single chain with hooks on both ends

Safety chains are a critical backup system for trailer towing, required by law in most states. The latch hooks on this chain provide added security compared to standard open hooks, ensuring the chain remains attached even under stress or movement. Ideal for boat trailers, utility trailers, and other light to medium-duty towing applications.

I'm not pleased that the product shown was &quot;a representation of the actual product. It showed a tow bar and I'm ordering a deflector guard that goes over the tow bar! Kind of nervous about this, but I called and talked to a representative who somewhat assured me the right product would be sent due to the product #. I hope so!

i will let you know when i receive. i like the feel of the cream but do not care for the smell.

So far So good :)
