Video Transcript for Review of Hydrastar - Trailer Brakes - HS496-253
Today we're going to take a look at the 30-foot long HydraStar hydraulic brake line kit for triple axle trailers. Now, these brake lines and fittings will let you run brake fluid from your brake actuator to your trailer brakes and this kit is designed for use on triple axle trailers with drum or disc brakes. The lines are a durable, corrosion resistant copper-nickel alloy. They are flexible and kink-proof design. It's great for foldaway trailer tongues and they are more economical and easier to install than rigid steel lines. They use thicker walls compared with the standard steel brake line kits to provide additional strength and durability.They do offer these rubber flex lines which are perfect for disc brakes and torsion axles.
And if you notice on the end of each line is a brass male double-flare nut fitting on the end of each hose. They do use corrosion resistant brass T-fittings. It will connect three hydraulic lines. They do offer female inverted flares at each port. You'll notice they offer heavy duty hose clamps to secure the hoses to your trailer's frame.
These parts are DOT compliant. Now, this kit will include everything laid out here on the table. We're going to go through them all. We'll start with the 30-foot long brake line.Again, it has the 3/8 inch by 24 inverted flare nuts on both ends. In the middle here is a 6-foot long brake line with the 3/8 inch by 24 inverted flare nuts on both ends.
Right over here they have four 4-1/4 foot long brake lines, again with the 3/8 inch by 24 inverted flare nuts on both ends. Have six of these 18-inch long and male rubber flex lines. Three of the 3/16 brass T-fittings right here. Two of the 3/16 brass union fittings and then one 3/16 brass X-fitting. Now, the clamps, they do give you six 1/2 inch nylon hose clamps, fourteen 3/16 nylon hose clamps and four 1/4 inch nylon hose clamps and then 24 self-tapping screws.
But that should do it for the review on the 30-foot long HydraStar hydraulic brake line kit for triple axle trailers.

Do you have a question about this Accessories and Part?
- Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes, Leaf Springs, Bearings, Hardware, & Brake Lines for Dexter 7K Axles
- Since the ProLube kit # XLPROLUBE2440KIT is only rated for use on 5,200 to 6,000 pound axles I do not recommend using it for 7,000 pound axles. Grease would be better for marine applications since a hub full of grease repels water and an oil bath hub could just let the water set on top.
The correct grease seal for disc brake kit # K2HR712D is # RG06-070. It does have an inner diameter of 2.25 inches and the outer diameter at 3.376 inches will fit the hub in the disc brake kit.

view full answer... - Converting Three 7,000 Pound Dexter Axles to Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
- I can certainly help you out with a disc brake set up on your trailer. The first thing we need to find out in order to select the correct parts would be the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped into the sides of the bearings in the hubs you have now. With that information I can ensure that we get you the right parts.
I would also need to know the bolt pattern of the wheels and what kind of braking system the trailer currently has. Also, do all 3 of the axles have brake mounting flanges?...
view full answer... - Disc Brake Kit Needed for a 2015 Cyclone 4200 with Triple Dexter Axles
- I reached out to my contact at Dexter Axle who gave me the spindle information for your specific axle. The compatible disc brake kit that I recommend going with is part # K2HR712D from Kodiak.
My contact did mention that this axle originally came with electric brakes so you will need a brake line kit as well since it sounds like you already have an actuator. I have linked our available brake line kits. All you have to do is filter through the selection for the best fit for your trailer...
view full answer... - Disc Brake and Actuator Kit Recommendation for 2016 Grand Design Momentum 397th
- Your trailer has 7k Lippert axles on it so the disc brake kit you would need is the three sets of # K2HR712D for the disc/rotor and caliper kits. This won't be super cheap but it will give you the best option for converting to disc.
For an electric over hydraulic actuator kit you then would want the part # HS381-9067 which will give you everything needed except for brake lines. For that you then would want the part # HS496-253.
view full answer... - Converting to Electric-Over-Hydraulic Disc Brakes on Trailer with Three 8,000 Pound Axles
- I suggest the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR89DE. They have an E-coat finish which will help reduce corrosion from the elements.
Our most popular actuator is the Hydrastar # HBA16 and it's definitely the way to go. See the attached video when we put one on a trailer and it worked great. For brake lines use # HS496-253.
If you don't already have a brake controller I suggest the Prodigy P2 # 90885. And for a breakaway kit # 20099.
view full answer... - Is Larger Diameter Brake Line Required when Switching from Drum to Disc Trailer Brakes
- You would only need to switch to a larger diameter brake line if the braking response was slow. You can go to a larger line if you wanted but it won't be necessary. We have 1/4 line kits such as # HS496-251 for single axle trailers, # HS496-252 for tandem axle trailers, or # HS496-253 for triple axle trailers.
view full answer... - Trailer Disc Brakes are Slow to Respond when Connected to a 2010 Dodge Ram w/Integrated Controller
- Dodge says their integrated trailer brake controller is compatible with the electric over hydraulic brake systems, but we have found their compatibility to be hit and miss at best. There are a few things that can cause slow response in the trailer brakes. First make sure everything is wired correctly and that there are no weak or bad grounds. Grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. Make sure there is no corrosion in the vehicle and trailer side connectors.Wiring...
view full answer... - Recommendation on Switching Vacuum Over Hydraulic Brakes to Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
- Since the braking power is still hydraulic, you should have no issues converting from a vacuum over hydraulic system to an electric over hydraulic (EOH) system. The electric over hydraulic actuator will take the place of the vacuum that pressurized the existing brakes.
Now, since you have disc brakes already installed on your trailer, I recommend the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi, # HBA16. The HydraStar actuator will allow you to apply the brakes...
view full answer... - Disc Brake Recommendation for a Triple Axle Boat Trailer
- Since you will putting the disc brakes on a boat trailer I recommend going with something that will be corrosion resistant. For that I recommend Kodiak disc brake kit # K2HR35DS. It is constructed using stainless steel parts and other parts have a Dacromet coating for superior corrosion resistance. This is a complete kit for 1 axle.
This kit has rotors that use inner bearing L68149 and outer bearing L44649. If you have different bearing numbers this kit can still work as long as the...
view full answer... - Converting Electric Brakes To Electric Over Hydraulic Disc Brakes On Triple Axle Trailer
- Yes, we have the HydraStar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Triple Axle - 15' Long, 1/4" Main Line, # HS496-153. We also have a 30 foot long kit, # HS496-253.
With either kit, I recommend use with the HydraStar Vented Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi, # HBA16. This will convert the electric system over to a hydraulic system with the electric motor that pushes the plunger into the hydraulic master cylinder as you brake.
I assume you have 3500 lb axles, and...
view full answer... - Best Disc Brake Actuator for Triple Axle Drum Brakes
- For just the actuator by itself the correct Hydrastar is the part # HS381-8066 that you referenced as it's pressure rating is correct for drum brakes and is rated for up to three brake axles. For a kit that includes the needed junction box, 7-way connector, a junction box for easy wiring and other various terminals for an easy install you'd instead want the part # HS381-9066 as all of that is included with this kit.
Then for a triple axle brake line kit we have the Hydrastar kit part...

I've included a link to our brake line kits, but if you could find the fitting types you need and let me know that would help me find a kit or put one together for your trailer's needs.
