Overview
Our 400 mm stainless steel braided brake line (Part EBS.BL.0400) is engineered for use in trailer and caravan hydraulic brake systems. Featuring a Teflon (PTFE) inner core with stainless steel outer braid, this line offers exceptional resistance to expansion, hydraulic pressure, and corrosion.
Compliant with SAE J1401 and DOT standards, the hose comes with 3/8″ UNF threaded ends and pre-flared fittings, making installation hassle-free—no flaring required.
What’s Included
-
1 × 400 mm flexible brake line, stainless steel-braided with PTFE inner core
-
Pre-assembled 3/8″ UNF inverted flare fittings
Key Features
✅ SAE J1401 / DOT compliant—meets Australian and international brake line certification
✅ Teflon inner core with stainless-steel braid—minimizes swelling and improves fluid response
✅ No flaring required—pre-flared 3/8″ UNF ends with brass fittings improve installation speed
✅ Corrosion-resistant—ideal for maritime, coastal, or heavy-duty trailer use
✅ Flexibility & durability—less prone to kinks, easy routing through chassis or suspension zones

Applications
-
Hydraulic brake systems for trailers, campers, caravans, and boat trailers
-
High-moisture or corrosive environments (e.g. marine, coastal use)
-
Upgrading or replacing rubber or copper bundy lines with a longer-lasting solution
-
Use cases requiring flexible routing through chassis sections
Why Choose This Brake Line?
Braided stainless steel brake lines like our 400 mm model exhibit minimal expansion under hydraulic pressure compared to rubber hoses—delivering firmer brake pedal response and safer braking performance. The integrated PTFE inner core preserves clarity of hydraulic transfer, while the outer braid and brass fittings ensure robust durability in harsh Australian conditions
This line installs faster than traditional rigid copper lines and stands up better to vibration, flex, and environmental corrosion.
🔧 Installation Notes
-
Hand-tighten and confirm line routing before final torque—ensuring no binding or chafe
-
Avoid sharp bends or excessive flex beyond vertical load path
-
Use P-clips or stainless clamps to secure the line to chassis or beam
-
Bleed the braking system thoroughly following installation to prevent air lock
