Product Details
About This Caster - 2.05253.53
Specify this 5-inch polyolefin swivel with the pipe-thread stem for a cart built on pipe legs, the no-rust caster that threads straight into a 3/4 NPT pipe fitting without an adapter.
The pipe-thread stem is the fitment that matters here: it screws into the threads of a 3/4 NPT pipe leg, which is how many fabricated and plumbing-pipe carts and racks are built, where neither a top plate nor a round-tube stem will fit. The molded polyolefin wheel neither rusts nor absorbs water, so it suits the damp and wash areas where pipe-leg carts often live, and the Delrin plain bearing rolls maintenance-free. At 5 inches it clears thresholds. It is the no-rust caster for a pipe-built frame.
Ideal applications
- Pipe-leg cart or rack threaded for a 3/4 NPT stem, wet floor
- Fabricated plumbing-pipe rig in a damp or wash area
- No-rust caster for a pipe frame crossing thresholds
Skip the pipe stem if the legs are open round tube or flat plate; the modular-stem polyolefin 31GH50X88-03 presses into a tube end instead.
Pairs with: the modular-stem 5-inch polyolefin 31GH50X88-03 on a frame that mixes pipe and tube legs.
Wrong fit? Tube or plate mount, or a quiet tread? See the modular-stem polyolefin 31GH50X88-03 and the Performa rubber 31MH50V-03.
Also in this family: the modular-stem polyolefin 31GH50X88-03 and 5-inch Performa swivel 31MH50V-03, or the 2 Series caster collection.

What our customers say
Excellent service! Outstanding quality castors.
Great customer service and casters!
Great service, friendly staff and quality product.
Excellent all inclusive selection. Was able to use their product search to easily and accurately purchase two pieces of Seperate but related pieces of hardware. Product shipped and tracked per UPS and arrived in a timely manner while packaged and in good condition. Product quality is excellent especially given price was a very reasonable.
Purchased Blickle casters from W.T. Hight Company. Rated 5/5.
Long story short, we purchased an under-counter freezer that was too tall and needed the casters taken off. However, I had no idea how to do that so a quick Google led me to W.T. Hight and the customer representative, Lemuga, was super patient and walked me through the process! Although we didn't purchase anything this time, their customer service was wonderful and we will be keeping this company on our radar for all things casters!
I had an amazing experience with W.T. Hight Company! I purchased casters for my equipment, and the quality was outstanding — sturdy, reliable, and exactly what I needed. The customer service was top-notch; they were incredibly patient and walked me through the entire process to ensure I got the right fit. Highly recommended.
