LiftMaster 041ASWG-0014SA Rear Connector for Swing Gate Operators
The LiftMaster 041ASWG-0014SA rear connector is a small but important replacement part used in the rear connection area of select LiftMaster swing gate operator arm assemblies. On a swing gate actuator, this connection point helps hold the arm in the correct position while allowing the operator to move through the normal opening and closing arc. When the rear connector is worn, broken, cracked, or missing, the operator may develop movement at the mounting point, uneven arm travel, or hardware noise during operation.
This part is commonly associated with LiftMaster residential and light commercial swing gate operators such as LA400, LA412, LA500, and similar swing gate service paths when the parts diagram calls for 041ASWG-0014SA. It should not be selected by appearance alone because several LiftMaster swing gate arm components can look similar but use different mounting geometry, fasteners, or suffix-specific part numbers.

Technician Note
The rear connector should be inspected along with the rear bracket, mounting pin, fasteners, and actuator arm. If the connector failed because the gate is dragging, binding, over-traveling, or hitting a hard stop, replacing the connector alone may not solve the root problem.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the operator model and arm style before ordering
- Compare the original connector to the parts diagram, not only to a product photo
- Inspect rear bracket hardware, pins, and bushings for wear
- Make sure the gate swings freely by hand with the operator disconnected
- Do not reuse bent or damaged mounting hardware if it affects alignment
Professional Advisory
Swing gate operators can produce significant force. Do not bypass entrapment protection or adjust the operator to overpower a binding gate. If the rear connection hardware was damaged during operation, have the gate geometry, hinge condition, bracket placement, and safety devices checked by a qualified gate technician.
Product Questions & Answers
What does the LiftMaster 041ASWG-0014SA rear connector do?
The 041ASWG-0014SA rear connector is a replacement connector used on select LiftMaster swing gate operator arm assemblies. It helps restore the rear connection point where the actuator hardware attaches and pivots during normal swing gate travel.
Will this rear connector fit every LiftMaster swing gate operator?
No. It is commonly listed for select LiftMaster swing gate operators and is often associated with LA400, LA412, LA500, and related swing gate service paths, but the correct match should be verified by the operator parts diagram.
Is 041ASWG-0014SA the same as 041ASWG-0014?
041ASWG-0014 is a commonly listed related number for this rear connector. The suffix matters on some LiftMaster swing gate parts, so match the number shown in the manual or on the original part whenever possible.
Should this be replaced when the arm has play at the rear mount?
It may be needed when the rear connector is cracked, damaged, worn, or missing. Excessive gate play can also come from brackets, bushings, fasteners, hinge wear, or an alignment issue, so inspect the full mounting assembly.
Can this part fix a gate that is binding or stopping?
Only if the connector is the failed component. A binding swing gate may also have hinge drag, bad geometry, damaged brackets, arm damage, limit issues, or obstruction/safety problems that should be corrected before replacing parts.
