• Can a Disc Brake Master Cylinder be Used with Drum Brakes on a Trailer
  You would not want to use a disc brake master cylinder with drum brakes because the psi rating is much higher for disc brakes. Using it on drum brakes can lead to damage to the wheel cylinders and very aggressive braking. The master cylinder for the drum brakes is # DX66FR. Drum brake master cylinders have a check valve on the inside that regulates the psi going through the brake lines. This is not something that you can add to the disc brake master cylinder. You would either have to...

• Can Brake Actuator for Drum Brakes Work With Disc Brakes
  Hey Cliff! As it is right now your brake actuator will not work with disc brakes. Disc brakes require a higher hydraulic pressure to operate. Depending on the actuator, you may be able to swap out the master cylinder for one designed for disc brakes. For example, if you have a Dexter Model 60 you can use the # T4820000 or a Model 10/20 # T4747100. If a replacement master cylinder isn't available the only option would be to swap out the coupler.

• Troubleshooting Titan Surge Disc Brake Actuator
  It could be that your reverse lockout solenoid needs replacement. Part # T4748800 is the replacement part. But I suspect your master cylinder is the cause for the brakes staying locked up until you release the pressure from the bleed valve on one of the calipers. You can check your master cylinder to see if the piston returns to its normal position after you manually compress it. If not you will want to replace it with part # T4747100 which fits the model 10 disc actuator. For the same...

• How to Tell Difference Between Titan Model 20 Drum and Disc Actuator
  Look at the top of the master cylinder and you'll be able to tell which type of brakes it is designed for by the whether there is a yellow dot or not. If you see the yellow dot then you have a disc brake setup. If no yellow dot then drum. Also you can easily change either style to the other by swapping out the master cylinder. For a drum brake application you'd want the part # DX66FR or for disc part # T4747100.

• How to Tell if you Have the Titan # DX66FR or the # T4747100
  I pulled both the # DX66FR and the # T4747100 that you referenced to check out and found a way for you to determine which you have. You will need to remove the red plug from the end opposite of the plunger and look down into that hole. If you see what looks like a flat gray disc you have the disc brake master cylinder part # T4747100 . If what you see is a concave metal piece with medium size holes then you are looking at the check valve and you have the drum brake version.

  The correct replacement master cylinder for a Titan Model 10 Brake Actuator is part # DX66FR for drum brakes or part # T4747100 for disc brakes.

• Are Brake Actuating Coupler Master Cylinders Universal Fit?
  For a surge brake actuator, the master cylinders are not universal fit. There are different styles and there are different psi levels for disc brakes versus drum brakes. For instance the Master Cylinder for Titan Actuators - Disc Brakes # T4747100 cannot work in place of the Demco Actuator Replacement Master Cylinder for Drum Brakes # 5650 simply because it won't fit the mounting correctly or hold the same brake pressure. If the mounting locations and the pressure were ideal, then you...

For a coupler then you'd want the # DM15791-97.

• Replacement Master Cylinder or Coupler for Old Rental Trailer
  For the most part, master cylinders for hydraulic brake actuators are model specific. Is there any indication on the hydraulic coupler what the manufacturer and model number of the actuator is? Without that information, I really wouldn't be able to make a recommendation for a replacement master cylinder. Hydraulic trailer brakes typically use 3/16 inch brake lines. You shouldn't need to replumb the lines if they're in good shape, but if you can't identify the manufacturer of the actuator,...
