16in #3 Line -3 Str/-3 Str

The ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE 16in #3 Line -3 Str/-3 Str brake hose is a critical component for any vehicle owner upgrading or rebuilding a hydraulic brake system with precision-engineered performance standards. This hose serves as the high-pressure conduit between your master cylinder and brake calipers, delivering consistent fluid pressure under extreme conditions. Whether you're fabricating a custom brake line setup for a race car, restoring a classic vehicle, or upgrading to an aftermarket brake system, this braided stainless steel hose with PTFE lining ensures reliable stopping power without flex or degradation under sustained heat and load.

Built with a stainless steel braided exterior and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) inner lining, the 16in #3 Line -3 Str/-3 Str hose resists corrosion, vibration, and brake fluid degradation while maintaining structural integrity through repeated thermal cycles. The -3 AN (3/16-inch) straight female connections on both ends provide a secure, leak-free interface with standard AN fittings used in performance brake systems. PTFE lining eliminates the permeability issues of rubber hoses, preventing fluid swelling and maintaining consistent brake feel over years of use. This construction method is the industry standard for serious fabricators, race teams, and technicians who demand zero-compromise brake system performance.

This 16-inch length hose suits mid-range brake line runs from master cylinder to remote proportioning valves, calipers, or distribution blocks commonly found in custom-built hot rods, track cars, and engine swaps. The dual straight female -3 AN configuration allows seamless integration with existing proportioning valve outlets or caliper inlets without requiring adapter fittings. Installation requires basic hand tools and AN wrench sizes; ensure proper routing away from exhaust, moving engine components, and sharp edges. Verify your system's AN size compatibility—this is a -3 (3/16-inch) hose, not -4 or larger—before ordering to ensure correct fitting engagement and system pressure ratings.
