4-Pack Flush Mount D Ring Cargo Tie-Down Anchors for Flatbeds, Utility Trailer, Pickup Truck Bed

These recessed pan fitting D rings are made specifically for when you cannot have an idle D ring popping out of the floor of your vehicle, tripping people and getting in the way of cargo placement. The square recessed pan gets bolted into your wooden floor; the D ring lies flush in the pan when not in use and can be lifted upward for use as a cargo tie-down anchor.

The D-rings have a clearance of 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″. These pan fitting are made of steel that can endure the elements and is galvanized to resist corrosion and rust; they have a working load limit of 2,000 pounds.

A Simple Guide to Installing Your Recessed Pan Fitting D Ring Tie-Down Anchors

Although not absolutely necessary, it is best to use mounting plates (not included in this product) when installing recessed D ring pan fittings.

1. Try to choose a versatile tie-down spot that will be convenient for all kinds of loads. Corners of truck beds and trailers are often optimal.
2. Set a mounting plate down on the space you wish to install a D ring and cross the mounting hole centers so you have a perfect center spot.
3. With a hole saw and chisel, use the center spot to cut a 3″ x 3-1/8″ hole that gradually advances from 9/16″ deep to 1-1/8″ deep because the recessed pan fitting is deeper on one side.
4. The recessed pan fitting has four pre-drilled holes – one in each corner. They are countersunk, with the holes narrowing on bottom and widening towards the surface, ensuring the bolts remain flush with the surface. If you are using a backplate, place it on the trailer underside; secure each bolt with a washer and nut on the other side of the mounting surface.
5. Your tie-down anchor is now ready to go! Use it to anchor chains, S hook straps, bungee cords, motorcycle tie-downs, and other cargo control products.
