Plated steel straight female hose end with a 1/8"-27 NPT thread supplied complete with socket and brass olive for easy assembly on our -3 stainless braided smooth bore PTFE hose. Suitable for both brake line and pressure capillary applications. Because these fittings are fixed for ease of installation where possible ensure that the other fitting on the hose has a swivel nut.
Please Note:
Hoses assembled from these components offer significant advantages over standard automotive flexible brake hoses manufactured from fabric reinforced synthetic rubber. The high line pressures generated by competition braking systems means that a significant proportion of the available brake pedal travel can be used up in expanding the flexible brake hoses leaving insufficient remaining pedal travel for safe braking. Our Stainless braided extruded PTFE hose solves this problem, the stiffness of the PTFE liner combined with the tightly woven high tensile stainless steel outer braid eliminates the line swell, dramatically increasing the firmness and feel of the brake pedal which also allows the drivers to modulate the brakes more efficiently. Improved abrasion resistance and increased temperature capacity are secondary advantages.
We stock a large range of alternative re-useable hose ends allowing almost any configuration of hose to be quickly and easily assembled using only hand tools.
