Product Overview
This high-pressure, heat-resistant stainless steel wire braided PTFE hose is designed for extreme performance. The proprietary core tube manufacturing process yields a uniform wall thickness, promoting even distribution of stress during flexing and reducing concentrated residual stress.
- Excellent chemical resistance and zero permeation.
- Maintains integrity up to 260ºC.
- Leak-free fitting weld connection.
- High flow rate with lightweight construction.
- Resists deterioration from steam, shocks, and flex.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the operating temperature range for these brake lines?
These brake lines are designed to withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -60°C to +260°C (-73°C to 232°C for specific variants), making them ideal for high-performance racing and heavy-duty use.
Q2: Are these hoses DOT approved?
Yes, our stainless steel braided PTFE brake hoses meet FMVSS-106 and SAE J1401 specifications, ensuring they meet the safety standards required for automotive use.
Q3: What are the primary materials used in the construction?
The hose features a PTFE or Nylon inner core for chemical resistance, a 304 stainless steel wire braid for reinforcement and pressure resistance, and an optional PVC/PU outer cover for additional protection and color customization.
Q4: What kind of pressure testing do the hoses undergo?
Every brake hose is pressure tested to 3000 psi (207 bar). The minimum burst pressure for our hoses is 7250 psi (500 bar), providing a significant safety margin.
Q5: What fluids are compatible with these PTFE hoses?
These hoses are compatible with a wide range of fluids including DOT3, DOT4, and DOT4+ brake fluids, unleaded petrol, methanol, water, and various oils.
Q6: Can these be used for both motorcycles and cars?
Yes, they are widely used in automotive, bicycle, motorcycle, racing, and hydraulic clutch systems due to their durability and high performance.
