Overview
This 5,500 mm stainless steel braided brake hose (Part EBS.BL.5500) is built with a PTFE (Teflon®) inner core and stainless steel braid, engineered to resist hydraulic expansion, deliver crisp braking response, and stand up to corrosion. Featuring pre-flared 3/8″ UNF inverted-flare brass fittings, it installs instantly—no flaring tools needed.
Certified to SAE J1401 and U.S. DOT standards, it’s ideal for extended brake runs on tandem or tri-axle trailers, ranch-style boat trailers, long A-frame setups, and RVs.

Hydraulic brake plumbing up to 5.5 m—replacing rigid copper or rubber lines
-
Ideal for demanding environments such as marine or high-moisture installations
-
Perfect for heavy-duty braking systems on extended chassis A-frames
🔎 Why Choose This Hose?
Braided stainless steel hoses offer much lower expansion compared to rubber hoses, resulting in firmer brake feel and consistent braking performance. The PTFE core enhances fluid response, while the 5.5 m length accommodates complex trailer layouts. With DOT/SAE certification, pre-flared brass fittings, and corrosion resistance, this hose delivers reliability, safety, and installation convenience.
🛠 Installation Tips
-
Secure the hose along the chassis with stainless relief clips to prevent chafe.
-
Maintain smooth bends; avoid tight angles in suspension pivot zones.
-
Hand-tighten fittings before applying torque to avoid twisting the core.
-
Thoroughly bleed the brake system to eliminate air after installation.
