14in #3 Line -3 Str/-3 Str

The 14in #3 Line -3 Str/-3 Str brake hose is a purpose-built hydraulic brake line designed for high-performance automotive applications where precision fluid transfer and reliability are non-negotiable. This hose serves enthusiasts and professional mechanics upgrading factory brake systems, custom-building hydraulic circuits, or replacing failed OEM lines with superior aftermarket alternatives. Whether you're fabricating a custom brake setup on a race car, restomod, or street machine, this braided stainless steel hose delivers the durability and performance modern brake systems demand.

Constructed with braided stainless steel reinforcement and a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) inner lining, the 14in #3 Line hose resists corrosion, abrasion, and thermal degradation while maintaining superior brake fluid compatibility. The PTFE core prevents fluid degradation and extends service life compared to rubber-lined alternatives, which can absorb moisture and degrade DOT 3, DOT 4, and synthetic brake fluids. Both ends feature 3 AN straight female fittings, which accommodate standard -3 AN male connectors used across professional and custom fabrication environments. At 0.12 lbs and compact dimensions (4.45 × 0.95 × 6.15 in), this hose integrates easily into tight engine bays or frame-mounted brake systems without adding bulk or weight.

This brake hose is ideal for custom brake line replacement, track-focused builds, hydraulic clutch systems, and off-road or motorsport applications where standard rubber hoses may fail under extreme pressure, temperature cycling, or corrosive environments. The 14-inch length suits mid-engine layouts, frame-mounted proportioning valves, or situations where a single hose bridges critical distance between master cylinder and caliper. Installation requires standard AN fitting wrenches and compatibility with -3 AN male connectors on both sides; verify master cylinder, caliper, and proportioning valve ports accept -3 AN male threads before ordering. Professional installation recommended to ensure proper torque specs and leak-free performance under braking loads.
