The BD Diesel 1028150 is a universal remote-mount exhaust brake system designed for heavy-duty diesel applications. This 5.0-inch air-actuated brake includes an integrated air compressor and delivers up to 150 retarding horsepower throughout the engine's RPM range, providing exceptional engine braking power for improved vehicle control and reduced brake wear.
Variable Orifice Technology:
BD's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology uses a solid, offset butterfly design with a spring-loaded pneumatic cylinder and adjustable pressure regulation to maximize braking performance across all engine speeds—not just at high RPM like competing designs that rely on holes or additional components.
Rugged Construction:
Built to withstand extreme exhaust temperatures, this brake features a rugged cast-iron housing with BD's proprietary alumibronze bushing and piston ring seals. The butterfly valve and rotating shaft are constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring long-term durability in harsh exhaust environments. All necessary mounting hardware is included.
