Question:
Please direct me to a fluid distribution block which attaches to the four brake lines to the disc brake calipers. How do I order the brake lines? It appears that there is only one outlet on the coupler correct?

Expert Reply:
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 the lines, hoses, and hardware needed to run the brake lines from the master cylinder to the brakes on your trailer. Since the kit comes with 4 flexible hoses you may wish to add an additional flex hose at the coupler, like part # T0776500.
I have attached a helpful article that shows what is needed to add hydraulic disc brakes.
