Question:
Hi Is this brake kit 1000 or 1200 PSI?

Expert Reply:
Hey Bik; since the Dexter Hydraulic Trailer Brakes # 23-336-337 are under 8k the correct psi is 1,000 lbs. Are you looking for an electric over hydraulic actuator? If so, you can use the Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Drum Brakes # HBA-10. If the brakes were rated for an 8k axle or higher you would need a 1,200 psi actuator like the # HBA-12 instead.

Hey Bik, did the 1,000 psi Hydrastar actuator end up working well with your Dexter hydraulic brakes? Knowing how that setup performed could really help others choosing between the two pressure options.
