This 40-inch (3 ft 4 in) flexible brake hose is DOT approved for use in hydraulic trailer brake systems, making it ideal for boat trailers and other trailers equipped with hydraulic braking systems. Typically used to connect axles in tandem axle setups, it links the first axle to the next using T-fittings. This hose is rated for high-pressure applications, including both drum and disc brakes with surge couplers or electric-over-hydraulic units. UV resistant, the hose is designed to withstand sun and saltwater exposure, ensuring long-term durability. The 3/16-inch male inverted flare fittings with a 3/8"-24 thread are compatible with most trailer brake components, including calipers, wheel cylinders, master cylinders, and solenoid valves. The swivel fittings at each end prevent twisting during installation, providing a more efficient and secure setup.
