    Flex brake line T’s

    I am still trying to run flexible brake lines on 1988 Rangertrail dual axle trailer. Ref diagram below, any idea why you have to run (2) T’s? 20’ long hose from actuator is more than long enough to reach the axle. Wondering why I can’t just run it to (1) T and then run hose from it to each caliper? I thought I was in chat with Dexter the other day to ask them but they never connected and they don’t list a phone number for tech advice. Hoping one of you has dealt with this before. Thanks

    instead of a plug, the rt line goes in one outlet and the left line goes in the other. the diagram likely shows the "plug" for a tandem axle set-up

    Thanks Mactiman. It came in the brake kit for a single axle brake system, even though it is on a dual axle. I thought I saw a different diagram for a dual axle with brakes on both axles but I may be wrong. What you are saying is what I was hoping to hear, thanks.
