Which Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuators are Compatible with DOT 5 Brake Fluid
Question:
Are any of the hydraulic brake actuators compatible with DOT 5 Brake fluid?
asked by: Frank M
Expert Reply:
The Dexter Electric over Hydraulic Brake Actuators, part # K71-650 for drum brakes or # K71-651 for disc brakes are compatible with DOT 5 brake fluid. Neither Titan nor Cargo Towing Solutions recommend using DOT 5 brake fluid in their actuators.
The product page for each of the Dexter EOH actuators includes a table that shows which OEM and aftermarket brake controllers are compatible.
