1226-17 Weld Tube Yoke 1251 Series Fits: 1.775 X 0.065

1226-17 UDS 1251 Series Weld Tube Yoke

The 1226-17 is a UDS 1251 series steel weld tube yoke designed to fit a 1.775-inch OD x 0.065-inch wall driveshaft tube. The butt diameter measures 1.667 inches, and the centerline-to-weld dimension is 1.750 inches. This yoke is welded onto a cut tube end to form the driveshaft connection point, and must be precisely aligned before welding to prevent imbalance.

When fitting the 1226-17, confirm the driveshaft tube OD is 1.775 inches with a 0.065-inch wall thickness. The butt diameter of 1.667 inches must match the tube ID at the cut end; verify this clearance before welding to ensure a straight, concentric joint. A 1.750-inch CL-to-weld dimension is relatively compact, requiring accurate measurement of the overall driveshaft assembly length before cutting the tube. The 1226-17 is built for the 1251 series, which is a metric-influenced specification used on lighter European and Asian vehicle drivelines. Confirm the mating U-joint is also 1251 series to ensure correct cap diameter compatibility. Verify tube OD and wall spec before welding.
