Question:
THe eTrailer replacement recommendation is Demco 8605001, which does not have a lock-out. eTrailer recommends adding the T4748800 electric actuator. Is there a video that shows the installation? I am trying to understand the electric actuator trailer fitment. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
The installation of the Replacement Solenoid Valve for Titan Brake Actuators # T4748800 to your Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator for Drum Brakes # DM72VR is a very simple installation.
This reverse lockout solenoid valve is threaded into the rear of the master cylinder on the brake actuator and wired to your reverse light circuit. It is activated when you go into reverse and the solenoid prevents the hydraulic brake pressure from being applied to your brakes.
I am including a link to a video of the solenoid being installed on to a brake actuator. This video is also on the product page of the solenoid valve # T4748800
