Dexter Brake Tubing Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers, Part Number 071-B55-00
The Dexter Brake Tubing Kit, part number 071-B55-00, is a complete brake line tubing set designed for tandem axle trailer brake systems. This kit supplies the tubing needed to connect the trailer's brake actuator or master cylinder to the brake assemblies on both axles, making it a practical solution for building out or replacing a tandem axle hydraulic brake line run. Using a factory-matched tubing kit rather than fabricating brake lines from bulk stock helps ensure the lengths and configuration are correct for a tandem axle setup, reducing the risk of leaks, kinks, or improperly routed lines that can compromise trailer braking performance.
This kit is sold under the Dexter brand and is intended for trailer owners, fabricators, and service technicians performing new brake line installations or full brake line replacements on tandem axle trailers. The kit weighs 4.2 pounds as supplied.
