Overview
This 5,000 mm stainless steel brake line kit (Part BLK.5000T) is a complete solution for hydraulic braking on tandem-axle trailers up to ~7 m long. The kit includes braided stainless steel hoses with PTFE (Teflon®) inner cores and pre-flared 3/8″ UNF fittings—no flare tools required. A 3‑way brass junction tee is included for easy axle leg routing.
Fully compliant with SAE J1401 and U.S. DOT standards, this kit is ideal for RVs, caravans, boat trailers, and heavy-duty trailer brake applications.

🚚 Applications
Best suited for:
-
Tandem-axle RVs, campers, caravans, and boat trailers (~7 m or less in chassis length)
-
Users replacing rigid copper or rubber brake lines with a flexible, compliant system
-
Conditions requiring corrosion-resistant brake hose with easy installation
🔍 Why Choose This Kit?
Compared to rigid copper tubing or rubber hoses, PTFE-lined stainless braided hoses offer far greater durability, reduced expansion, and consistent brake responsiveness. With three joiner tees and multiple hose lengths pre-flared for fast assembly, this kit significantly shortens installation time while maintaining full DOT/SAE compliance.
🛠 Installation Tips
-
Secure hoses to the chassis using stainless steel P‑clips to avoid chafing
-
Maintain smooth bends without kinks, especially around suspension components
-
Always hand-tighten fittings prior to final torque to avoid twisting
-
Thoroughly bleed the hydraulic system after installation to eliminate air
