Overview
The BLK.6500T kit provides a full brake hose solution for tandem-axle trailers up to ~8 m—tailored for caravans, boat trailers, or large campers. It includes braided stainless steel hoses with PTFE inner cores, all pre-flared with 3/8″ UNF fittings for tool-free installation. Three brass 3‑way joiners allow for branch routing to wheel-end hoses.
Certified to SAE J1401 and U.S. DOT standards, this kit ensures compliant and corrosion-resistant brake plumbing.
