Is the Repair Kit # F520801 Rated for the 5,000 lb Fulton Coupler with Hand Wheel Latch # F3080217

Question:

A previous expert answered, We do offer a repair kit for the Fulton 308-Series channel-tongue hand wheel couplers, Fulton part # F520801. This fits hand wheel couplers for 2-inch to 2-1/8-inch balls such as # F3080217. I see that F308217 is a 5000# coupler. But, another expert answer on your site described the repair kit for only up to 2000# coupler. What is correct? I need a kit for 5000#. Also, your website is the only site showing Made in China on the ball wedge. Would that be the new difference?

The Repair Kit # F520801 is the correct kit for the Fulton Coupler with Hand Wheel Latch # F3080217 rated for 5,000 lbs like what you referenced. The repair kit itself wouldn't have a weight rating as it is designed to be used for the Fulton 308 series couplers.

I tried looking up the other answer you mentioned but I wasn't able to find anything stating that the kit was only rated for a 2,000 lb coupler. If you could let me know what answer page you were looking at I should be able to shed some light on what is going on.
