1226-26 – Weld Yokes – 1251 Series – Butt Dia 2.400″ – Tube Dia Wall 2.550X0.080

Purpose-Built for Light-Duty Import And Compact Truck Driveshaft Builds

When you are fabricating or rebuilding a propshaft for a light-duty import and compact truck platform, the yoke-to-tube weld joint is the most critical structural connection in the assembly. The 1226-26 weld yoke delivers a precision-bored butt diameter of 2.400"" to match standard 2.550" OD tubing at 0.080" wall thickness, giving you a tight-fitting joint that welds cleanly and balances predictably.

Key Specifications at a Glance

Why the Tube-to-Yoke Fit Matters

• A properly fitted weld yoke eliminates weld gap variation that causes runout after cooling.
• Full-penetration welds require consistent clearance -- ideally 0.003-0.005" radial gap.
• Insufficient tube wall engagement reduces fatigue life under torsional cycling.
• This yoke's bore is held to close machining tolerance for repeatable fitment.

Material Performance

Heat-treated steel construction delivers the torsional rigidity required for heavy-duty propshaft applications, resisting deflection under load. The 1251 series designation ensures this yoke is dimensionally matched to standard 1251 u-joint crosses -- no shimming or adapting required.

Ordering & Pairing Guidance

Order this yoke alongside a matching 1251 series u-joint cross and the appropriate companion flange or slip yoke for your specific driveshaft layout. Confirm your tube OD and wall before placing the order -- substituting a different tube size will result in a loose or interference fit that compromises weld quality and structural integrity.
