Video Transcript for Titan Brake Actuator - Surge Brake Actuator - T4822820 Review

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Titan hydraulic disc brake actuator with the electric lockout, and a 14,000 pound gross towing weight capacity. Now this hydraulic actuator will activate your trailer brakes when your tow vehicle slows or stops. Basically when you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, deceleration occurs, and the momentum will push your trailer towards the rear of your vehicle. So with surge brake systems, the actuator's triggered as your trailer moves forward once your tow vehicle starts to slow down.So, when this happens, this actuator will contract, goes to the inside of this part right here, applies the force to the master cylinder, and this in turn will supply the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage your trailer brakes. This one is a unique roller design. You can see there's two rollers here, two rollers down here.

This'll help reduce the resistance during the telescoping to create a straight line movement.If you notice on the rollers, they do have these grease zerk fittings that you're going to attach your grease pin to, makes for easy lubrication. This is a sturdy, durable steel construction, resists bending and any jack-knife situations. Now the electric reverse lockout, which is the cylinoid right back here, this'll let you back up without actuating your trailer brakes. The electric reveres lockout on this actuator is automatically activated when you shift your tow vehicle into reveres.The cylinoid will wire into your trailer connector, which connects to your tow vehicle. So, it can detect when you're in reverse.

So when your vehicle's in reverse, this cylinoid insures that the hydraulic actuator does not activate your trailer brakes. Thus allow you to back up your vehicle. You do need to remember you use this reverse lockout. You must have a 5-way flat, 6-way round, or 7-way trailer connector. Also, if you notice, they have a nice built in shield over it to protect the cylinoid from the elements and from any damage.Up front here, they have this adjustable channel.

Has three different mounting positions for the ball coupler. And it can also accept a lunette ring or clevis attachment coupler which we do sell separately. This one comes with the ball coupler. The ball coupler uses this trigger latch, which allows for safe and easy coupling and uncoupling. Has a nice circle grip here, makes the latch simple to use.

You just pull back on the trigger, it opens the ball socket, drop it on the ball socket, let it go, and it'll lock right into place.This has a nice corrosion resistant zinc plate finish to it. On top here, we're the chain is, you can see, this is the breakaway kit, it's all included. This is a bolt on installation. Application, this is for trailers with disc brakes. Gross towing weight capacity is 14,000 pounds. Tongue weight capacity is 1,400 pounds. The ball size that this coupler fits on is a 2-5/16 diameter. And this mounts to a three inch wide trailer tongue. And the vertical range of adjustment on the bracket right here, is four inches.But that should do it for the review on the Titan hydraulic disc brake actuator with the electric lockout, and a 14,000 pound gross towing capacity.
