Product description
A braided brake hose, also known as a stainless steel braided brake hose, is a type of flexible brake line used in automotive brake systems. It is constructed with a flexible inner core, typically made of Teflon or similar material, surrounded by a braided stainless steel outer layer.
Key features of braided brake hoses include:
-Flexibility: The braided design allows for flexibility, which is essential for accommodating the movement and vibrations that occur in a vehicle during normal operation.
-Durability: The stainless steel braiding provides strength and durability, making the hose resistant to abrasion, impact, and corrosion. This durability is especially important in automotive applications where the brake system is subjected to various environmental conditions.
-High-Performance: Braided brake hoses are often used in high-performance or racing vehicles because they can withstand the increased stress and heat generated during aggressive driving.
-Improved Brake Feel: The flexibility of braided brake hoses can contribute to a more responsive brake pedal feel. This can enhance the driver's ability to modulate braking force and provide better control over the vehicle.
-Resistance to Expansion: The braided design helps to minimize hose expansion under pressure, ensuring a more consistent and efficient transfer of brake fluid.
-Appearance: In addition to their functional benefits, braided brake hoses are often chosen for their aesthetic appeal. The stainless steel braiding can give the brake system a sleek and sporty appearance.
