Overview
The 4,500 mm stainless steel braided brake hose (Part EBS.BL.4500) features a high-performance PTFE (Teflon) inner liner with a protective stainless steel braid. Designed for long brake runs, this hose resists expansion and corrosion, delivering reliable stopping power. Equipped with pre-flared 3/8″ UNF inverted flair brass fittings, installation is quick and tool-free.
This hose meets both SAE J1401 and U.S. DOT standards, making it ideal for heavy-duty trailer applications, including long A-frame runs, tandem-axle trailers, RVs, and boat trailers. ([turn0search2], [turn0search1])

🔧 Installation Tips
-
Secure the hose to the chassis using stainless P‑clips or mounts.
-
Route with smooth bends—avoid tight kinks, especially near suspension points.
-
Hand-tighten fittings first, then torque to specification—avoid twisting the hose.
-
Bleed hydraulic lines thoroughly post-install to remove air.
