Product Info
Dexter Dico Model 20 Drum Brake Actuator with Adjustable 2-5/16" Coupler
The Dico Model 20 is a heavy-duty hydraulic surge brake actuator from the Dico / Titan product family, now associated with Dexter. This unit is identified in our supplier records as a drum-brake actuator equipped with an adjustable 2-5/16-inch ball coupler.
Hydraulic surge actuators apply trailer braking pressure through the movement of the actuator during deceleration. The Model 20 family is intended for substantial trailer braking applications, but the exact assembly, rating, and installation requirements must be verified for this individual unit.

Supplier Order Description
Fitment & Installation
This actuator must be matched to the trailer's hydraulic drum-brake system and structural mounting arrangement. A matching ball size alone does not establish compatibility.
- Confirm the trailer's required actuator capacity and tongue-load rating.
- Verify the coupler, adjustable mounting channel, and attachment dimensions.
- Confirm compatibility with the existing hydraulic drum-brake system.
- Check the hydraulic master cylinder, seals, fittings, and breakaway mechanism before installation.
- Follow the applicable Dexter / Dico installation and maintenance instructions.
Certain Dico / Titan Model 20 actuators are documented with 20,000-lb capacities. However, Model 20 refers to a product family, and this listing does not assign that rating to this specific actuator without confirmation of its identification and assembly specifications. Do not select this unit based solely on ratings published for other Model 20 configurations.
New Old Stock Condition
This item is being offered as unused new old stock. Older inventory may display cosmetic marks from storage or handling. The photographs should be considered part of the condition description.
Because hydraulic seals and internal components can deteriorate over time regardless of use, inspection and appropriate testing are required before the actuator is placed into towing service. No claim of internal hydraulic testing is made in this listing.
