I upgraded the 32" 12,000 lbs rated trailer to Electric/Hydraulic as the electric brakes really were not doing very much to help slow the trailer down. The overall upgrade included new 7,000# axles as well as a hydraulic converter next to the winch in the front of the trailer. This kit was perfect as it came with all the hardware needed to do the get the brake line almost to the front of the trailer. i did have to extend it a hair but that made only for one quick trip to the autoparts store versus many more if I had to do it from scratch and it was only because I wanted the pump in a specific location

If I ever get another big trailer, it will be with this axlebrake combo. The brakes work so much better than the all electric units ever did



by:

I got great service and even some advise on something they could not cross over to their product line. With regard to the brake line kit, the east west lines were too short and the long line from the actuator to the first axle was barely long enough for my 23’ trailer.

When looking for a replacement brake line kit, you will want to measure from the port on the back of the actuator to the T-Fitting where the lines split off and go to the separate brakes, which is typically right at the axle. There will be a short flexible line included to go from the back of the actuator to the steel line however if you measure this way the excess steel line can then be coiled up and out of the way. It is better to have a little extra rather than not enough.



by:

I put disc brakes on my 38 foot 5th wheel travel trailer due to the poor brake quality of the manufacturer. I now drive on the highway with much greater confidence for our safety. The stopping power of these brakes is incredible. The quality of the brakes are superior. I installed them myself finding the instructions accurate and easy to follow. There was a small part missing out of the brake line kit and the part was overnited to me by E Trailer. I have purchased many items from this company and have found the products to be of top quality and fairly priced. The customer service is outstanding. Thank you.



by:

Assembled easily. Made hooking up the plunging to my Kodiak calipers a breeze.

Breaks working great. Wish I had done it sooner. Feel much safer. Dont waste your time with the upgraded bolts. Continue to loosen. I changed mine to grade 5 fine thread with nyloc nuts.



by:

Hard to believe its been a year already. The new hydraulic brake system works great. Took us across the mountains in N. Carolina all the way to Myrtle Beach and back with two horses in the trailer. Planning on going again this year. Love it and would deal with you all again.



by:

Great kit everything needed to install 4 wheel disk brake kit from the actuator to the calipers



by:

Is a good product , but by the recommended rubber hose for the beginning of the trailer so the line will fit perfectly otherwise it will be short.



by:

Kit had everything I needed to replumb the brake lines for my trailer.



by:

Everything ordered is in great shape and fits my trailer. Prices are better than anywhere else I've researched and i will definitely pass along to anyone i know needing trailer parts.



by:


No issues it works great for our a
pplication



by:

It's a good kit, but as it's universal I had to do some customizing to some of the lines.

With the amount of cutting and flaring of brake lines, I would have been better off going with scratch built brake lines.



by:

All the parts you need to connect a two axle system.

  • Parts Needed To Add Surge-Type Actuator And Brake Lines To Tandem trailer With Disc Brakes
    You are correct that there is only one fluid outlet on the coupler, part # T4750800 you referenced. This is the master cylinder on the coupler that sends fluid through the brake lines to the brakes. I have attached a photo of the coupler that shows the attach point for the brake line, and also a drawing that shows how the lines on a typical tandem axle trailer are run. For a tandem axle with 4 disc brakes I recommend the Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit, part # DM5425. This kit includes...

  • How to Add Hydraulic Drum or Disc Brakes to a Pontoon Boat Trailer
    You can equip your pontoon boat trailer with either hydraulic drum or hydraulic disc brakes. You are correct that electric brakes are not a good option since water and electricity don't get along well together. You can get a start by reviewing the two linked articles concerning how to add hydraulic brakes to a trailer. There is an article for the drum brake application and one for disc brakes. Each of these gives you a full picture of the things to confirm and the parts required. Disc...

  • Difference Between Drum & Disc Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kits For Tandem Axle Trailers
    The difference is that the brake line kits for hydraulic drum brakes have two flexible hoses while the kits for disc brakes (which can be used with drum brakes) have four flexible hoses to connect to the calipers. The calipers "float" and need to move a bit which is why the added flexible lines are needed; so you'll want to choose based on what brakes you have: - Hydraulic Drum Brakes: Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers # DM5429 - Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Demco Hydraulic...

  • Disc Brake Kit Recommendation for Lippert 7k Axles
    The disc brake kit # K2HR712D that you referenced should work well for you. You would need a quantity of 2 of these for each of your axles. These have the same bolt pattern as your current setup and are rated a 7k. You can verify that these will fit your spindle by removing a current hub and checking the numbers on the bearings. If they are 25580 for the inner and 14125A for the outer this kit would fit the spindle and work well. This kit will fit a spindle that has a diameter of 1.25...

  • How to Convert Demco Drum Brake Line Kit DM5428 to be Compatible with Disc Brakes
    All you would need to make the Demco brake line kit part # DM5428 compatible with disc brakes is additional flex lines for what connects to the calipers. Reason being the calipers are floating and they need to move a little bit. So for that you'd need four of the part # DM05982.

  • Disc Brake Conversion for 5th Wheel Trailer with 8-Lug/12-Inch Hub/Drums and Tandem 6K Axles
    Converting a 5th wheel trailer from electric drum brakes to electric-over-hydraulic disc brakes will require a couple of items: the disc brake kit of hub/rotors and calipers, a brake line kit, an electric-over-hydraulic actuator, a breakaway kit and a brake controller such as the excellent Prodigy P3 # 90195. The linked article covers each of these items and is a good starting point for planning your project. A link is provided that will show you all disc brake kits with the 8-on-6-1/2-inch...

  • Best Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator for Trailer Disc Brakes
    We prefer the Hydrastar Actuator part # HBA16 as it is the most reliable and works the best. This would be the best option for your trailer. We have the least amount of issues with this actuator and it is the one our installers like the most so we recommend it the highest. For a tandem axle brake line kit that uses rigid lines except for the lines that attach to the assemblies you would want the part # DM5425. Or if you wanted a kit that has the lines, a breakaway kit, and the actuator...

  • Brake Lines and Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes on 8,000 lb Axles
    The Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # DM5425 will work for your disc brake set up, but it is not the exact same part, it does have different length fittings. The Dexter DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # K71-651 is compatible with your axles. These actuators don't have a weight capacity, they put out a certain amount of pressure that will work with either disc or drum brakes, with disc brakes like yours needing more pressure. They will be effective...

  • How Many Axles is the Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit for

I have also linked our list of helpful articles for trailer brakes as well as our selection of trailer brakes/hubs and drums for you to filter through. Let me know if you need to replace anything and I will be more than happy to make some recommendations for you.

  • Information Needed to Choose Electric Over Hydraulic Brake System for 34 Foot Alumascape 5th Wheel
    If your fifth wheel uses 3500 lb axles and the wheel bearings are L68149 inners and L44649 outers, the Titan Disc Brake Kit you referenced, part # T4843800 would be compatible. Your existing bearings should have the reference numbers stamped into the bearing cage. If you're not sure about the capacity of your axle, if you can provide the inner and outer bearing reference numbers, and the bolt pattern of your wheels I can determine the axle capacity. With that information, I can recommend...

  • Brake Lines for a 5th Wheel Toy Hauler with Disc Brakes that Weighs 15,000 Pounds
    As you convert your 5th wheel toy hauler to disc brakes, you will have at least a 1,600 pound psi rating. The brake line kit I recommend is the Demco hydraulic brake line kit for tandem axle trailers # DM5425. This kit will provide lines and fittings needed to run brake fluid from surge brake actuator to trailer brakes. This kit is also the most popular one we currently offer. Please view the installation video I included as well.

  • Single Axle Brake Line Kit Needed for Triple Axle Trailer to Make a Triple Axle Disc Brake Kit
    You wouldn't need a triple axle brake line kit, # HS496-253, because the Titan Disc Brake Kit # T4843800 already comes with 2/3 of what you need. So you would need a single axle kit # DM5424 or # DM5425.

  • Recommended Disc Brake Conversion Kit for 7k Lippert Axles
    Hans, yes you can absolutely use the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR712D with your Lippert 7K axles. These brakes have a 5 bolt flange, an 8 on 6 1/2 bolt pattern, and will work with 7k axles with wheels 16" or larger. You're also going to need a brake line kit # DM5425, an actuator # HBA16, and the lug nuts # CE11051.

    We have everything you need, just not in one kit. For a disk brake kit that will bolt up to your 4 bolt brake flanges and will slip over your 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you would want the part # K2R35D for a dacromet finish. Or if your trailer will see salt water I would recommend the stainless steel kit part # K2R35S. You will need a quantity of two of these kits for both axles. For a brake line kit you will need the part # DM5425. And then for a surge brake actuator you would want...

  • Recommended Parts to Convert Electric Brakes on 5th Wheel to Electric Over Hydraulic
    We don't offer a complete kit for 7K axles, but we do have hub/rotors or slip on rotors that could work depending on the inner and outer wheel bearings or wheel bolt pattern your hubs currently use. For instance, if your hubs use a 25580 inner bearing and a 14125A outer bearing, two of the Kodiak # K2HR712E kits which include the hub/rotors, calipers and caliper brackets would be a good start. The bearings and races are included. You'd also need a line kit like part # DM5425 and an electric...

From the mounting surface of the caliper to the rotor center measures 3.15 inches. On the thicker side of the caliper the distance from the mounting flange to nearest portion of the rotor is 2.6 inches. On...

  • Using Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator on Airstream Trailer With Excella Vacuum Brakes
    From what I've read online, in its day, the Airstream Excella vacuum braking system worked very well, but at this point, they're obsolete. Replacement parts are difficult to find and the parts that would need to install on the vehicle aren't readily available. I saw several references in the forums to folks who simply changed their brakes to an electric drum system, which would be your least expensive option. If you wish to go this route, I'd need to know your inner and outer bearing reference...

  • Fitment of Kodiak Disc Brakes on a 2007 Keystone Montana 2980 RL
    Good news, the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR712E will work for your 2007 Keystone Montana 2980 RL. The caliper mounting bracket will fit your standard 5 bolt configuration which is used by 5.2K, 6K, and 7K axles. The bearing kit you will need for this brake kit is # BK3-200. Something to keep in mind is that if you previously didn't have hydraulic brakes you will need a brake actuator like # HBA16 and a brake line kit like # DM5425. We do have a HydraStar Kit # CAR-HBA16-2 that includes...

I have included a link to all of the disc brake options we have with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. For a brake line kit, if needed, we have # DM5425. For an electric over hydraulic actuator you can use # T4813100 which is the same one that is in kit # T4843800.
