Coated Braided Line 18in #3 Hose -3 Str/-3 Str

The Allstar Performance Coated Braided Line 18 inch #3 Hose with -3 Straight/-3 Straight female connections is a purpose-built hydraulic brake line assembly for high-performance and competition vehicles. This 18-inch brake hose delivers consistent pressure delivery in demanding racing and off-road environments where reliability under load is non-negotiable.

Construction features braided stainless steel with black vinyl coating and PTFE internal lining. The dual -3 AN straight female fittings enable direct connection to -3 AN ported components without adapter complexity. The braided design provides structural integrity against pressure spikes while the PTFE lining resists fluid degradation and maintains pressure stability across temperature cycles common in high-RPM and sustained-load scenarios. The vinyl coating protects the braided core from abrasion and environmental exposure while maintaining flexibility for routing through engine bays and chassis tunnels.

This assembly suits race car builders, off-road competitors, and restoration enthusiasts upgrading brake systems with AN-ported master cylinders and calipers. The 18-inch length accommodates mid-engine and rear-mounted caliper configurations where standard hoses fall short. Allstar Performance's focus on motorsports applications means these lines are engineered for the thermal and pressure demands of competition driving, not street-use comfort margins.

Verify AN fitting compatibility with your specific master cylinder and caliper ports before ordering. The -3 designation refers to the hose ID and fitting size; cross-checking your system's port configuration prevents installation delays and ensures proper pressure containment under braking load.
