18in #3 Line -3 Str/-3 Str

The Allstar Performance 18-inch #3 Line Brake Hose with -3 AN Straight fittings on both ends is a purpose-built hydraulic line designed for high-pressure brake system applications. Constructed with braided stainless steel exterior and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) internal lining, this hose delivers reliable fluid transfer in demanding automotive environments where thermal stability and corrosion resistance are critical requirements.

The 3 AN (JIC -3) fitting size accommodates moderate flow rates typical of front or rear brake circuits in performance vehicles and off-road applications. Eighteen inches of length provides flexibility for custom routing around engine bays, suspension modifications, and frame-mounted components without excessive hose runs that would increase fluid volume and reduce brake response. The straight female-to-female configuration accepts standard AN male connectors at both ends, ensuring compatibility with OEM and aftermarket brake components engineered to JIC standards. Braided stainless construction resists abrasion, UV degradation, and corrosion from road salt and moisture exposure, while PTFE lining prevents swelling and maintains consistent bore diameter under temperature cycling.

This hose is commonly selected for custom brake line fabrication on track-focused vehicles, off-road trucks, and street machines where OEM line routing conflicts with suspension geometry or performance modifications. Users requiring precise brake pedal feel and minimal compressibility benefit from braided steel construction and PTFE internal protection, which resist the fluid degradation that reduces hydraulic response over multiple heat cycles.

Proper installation requires secure wrench-tightening of AN fittings to manufacturer torque specifications and pressure testing before operation. Always verify hose routing avoids moving parts, sharp edges, and heat sources exceeding PTFE specifications. This product is sold individually and represents a single line segment suitable for point-to-point brake system connections.
