It mounts on top of the trailer tongue and uses the trailer's forward momentum during braking to apply hydraulic pressure to the drum brakes, giving the trailer its own stopping power that works in sync with the tow vehicle. The housing is zinc plated for corrosion resistance in the wet, road-spray environment trailer tongues are exposed to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis actuator measures 14.5 inches long, with its mounting holes positioned 1 inch down from the top of the housing, matching the standard bolt-on coupler footprint used across Dexter's DX line of surge actuators. Per Dexter's part numbering system, the 099-075-00 is built with no outer member installed, so it ships as the actuator body itself rather than as an assembly that includes a weld-on or bolt-on coupler housing extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse this actuator when replacing a worn or leaking surge brake unit on a drum-brake trailer, or when building out a trailer braking system that calls for a bolt-on, top-mount surge actuator of this length and hole spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dexter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 099-075-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bolt On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch down from the top of the housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Member:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (no outer member installed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailer Brake Actuators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Dexter 099-075-00 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a bolt-on surge brake actuator that mounts on a trailer tongue and applies hydraulic pressure to drum brakes when the trailer pushes forward against the tow vehicle during braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the 099-075-00 actuator?\u003c\/strong\u003e The housing measures 14.5 inches long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere are the mounting holes located on this actuator?\u003c\/strong\u003e The mounting holes sit 1 inch down from the top of the 099-075-00 housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Dexter 099-075-00 come with a coupler housing extension?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Per Dexter's part numbering, the 099-075-00 is built with no outer member, meaning it ships as the actuator body only, without a weld-on or bolt-on coupler housing extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this actuator for drum brakes or disc brakes?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter 099-075-00 is a drum brake surge actuator, not a disc brake unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the 099-075-00 mount to the trailer tongue?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a bolt-on style actuator, meaning it attaches with bolts through the housing rather than being welded to the tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does the Dexter 099-075-00 have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The housing is zinc plated for corrosion resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 099-075-00 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 14.3 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 099-075-00 work with a straight or A-frame tongue?\u003c\/strong\u003e As a bolt-on, top-mount surge actuator, the 099-075-00 is designed to install on top of a trailer tongue; consult your coupler and tongue dimensions to confirm the bolt pattern and hole spacing match this 14.5 inch, 1-inch-down housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 099-075-00 be paired with a separate coupler housing?\u003c\/strong\u003e Since this part has no outer member installed, it is intended to be used as the base actuator, with the outer coupler housing sourced or matched separately if your trailer setup requires one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of part is the Dexter 099-075-00?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is classified as a trailer brake actuator, specifically a surge-type actuator for drum brake trailers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dexter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991342854363,"sku":"DEX-099-075-00","price":242.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/099-075-00__36211.1763741660.500.750.jpg?v=1785329079","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/dexter-dx7-5-bolt-on-surge-brake-actuator-for-drum-brakes-zinc-plated-7-500-lb-mpn-099-075-00","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
