The Multiquip 23517 is a genuine OEM Carriage Bolt 3/8-16 x 1-1/4 GR5 designed for Multiquip Water Trailer equipment, including the WT5C, WTE5C, and WT5CSG models. As a factory-sourced fastener, 23517 meets the original engineering specifications for thread pitch, shank diameter, and grade rating used in Water Trailer assembly. Sourcing the correct OEM bolt ensures the connection points on your trailer hold to the intended clamp load without risk of under-spec hardware causing joint failure. DHS Equipment supplies this part direct, so you can confirm fitment by part number and get your equipment back in service fast.
Key Features
- Grade 5 Tensile Strength — The GR5 rating delivers the minimum proof load and tensile strength specified for this fastener position, keeping structural joints secure under trailer load and road vibration.
- Exact Thread Specification — 3/8-16 UNC thread form matches the tapped holes or nuts used in the original Water Trailer assembly, threading in without chasing or re-tapping.
- Rounded Head, Square Neck Design — The carriage bolt profile locks against the mating material when tightened, allowing one-sided fastening where access to the bolt head is limited.
- Genuine OEM Sourcing — Part 23517 is a factory Multiquip component, ensuring the correct head diameter, neck dimensions, and finish match what was installed at the time of manufacture.
- Confirmed Fitment for WT5C, WTE5C, and WT5CSG — Verified for Multiquip Water Trailer models across both hydraulic surge brake and electric-actuated drum brake configurations.
A carriage bolt is a through-fastener used to join structural panels, frames, and mounting brackets where a flush or low-profile head is required on the visible face of the assembly. The smooth domed head and square shoulder beneath it pull tight against the material surface as the nut is tightened, preventing the bolt from spinning during installation or service. When a carriage bolt is substituted with an incorrect grade or size, the joint can loosen under vibration, stretch under load, or fail to seat properly — all of which compromise the structural integrity of the trailer frame and its attached components.
