The Load Rite Knott Disc Brake Kit is a 10 inch 5-lug vented integral rotor kit by AutoFlex KNOTT, fitting KNOTT 3,700 lb capacity 5-bolt axles.
Vented rotors are the detail worth understanding. A vented disc has internal channels that move air through the rotor, shedding heat far faster than a solid one under repeated braking. On a long descent with a loaded trailer that is what stops brake fade, which is when a hot brake stops working.
An integral rotor combines the hub and the disc in one piece rather than bolting them together, which removes a joint that can corrode and run out of true. It fits KNOTT 3,700 lb 5-bolt axles specifically, so the axle brand and bolt pattern both need confirming before ordering. Explore more trailer brakes and actuators.
