The Knott KF27 Drawtube with Stop Ring (OEM 202041.002) is a genuine replacement overrun coupling component designed for use on selected Knott KF27 trailer coupling assemblies. The drawtube forms the sliding section of the overrun braking system, transferring braking forces through the coupling while allowing controlled movement during towing and braking. Supplied with the stop ring fitted, it provides the correct travel limits and secure operation of the overrun mechanism.
Manufactured to OEM specifications from high-strength steel, the drawtube is engineered to withstand heavy towing loads, repeated braking cycles, vibration, and the demanding conditions encountered in commercial, agricultural, and plant trailer applications. Precision-machined for an accurate fit, it is designed as a direct replacement component to restore smooth operation and reliable braking performance.
FUNCTION AND OPERATION
- Transfers braking forces through the overrun coupling
- Provides smooth sliding movement within the coupling assembly
- Maintains correct alignment of the overrun mechanism
- Supplied complete with stop ring
- Withstands heavy towing loads and repeated braking cycles
- Designed for heavy-duty trailer applications
TECHNICAL DETAILS
- OEM Part Number: 202041.002
- Type: Drawtube with stop ring
- Function: Overrun coupling sliding mechanism
- Application: Selected Knott KF27 overrun coupling assemblies

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Suitable for selected Knott equipment, including:
- KF27 overrun coupling assemblies
- KFG30 trailer couplings
- KRV30 trailer couplings
- Other trailer systems fitted with the compatible 50mm drawtube assembly
Always verify compatibility using the trailer model, coupling type, and OEM part number before ordering, as drawtubes can vary in diameter, length, hole configuration, and application between coupling models and production revisions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always confirm the correct OEM part number, trailer model, and coupling specification before ordering, as drawtubes are manufactured to precise dimensions and tolerances. Installing the correct component is essential to ensure smooth overrun operation, effective trailer braking, and safe towing performance.
Common signs that a drawtube requires replacement include excessive wear, scoring, corrosion, bending, restricted movement, excessive play within the coupling, or poor overrun brake performance. When replacing the drawtube, it is recommended to inspect the guide bushes, bellows, stop ring, damper, coupling housing, and associated fasteners for signs of wear or damage. Replacing any worn associated components at the same time will help maximise the reliability and service life of the complete overrun coupling assembly.
