Coated Braided Line 30in #3 Hose -3 Str/-3 Str

The Coated Braided Line 30in #3 Hose with -3 Str/-3 Str connections is a high-performance brake hose engineered for precision hydraulic line routing in custom automotive builds and professional racing applications. Whether you're fabricating a custom brake system for a hot rod, street machine, or competition vehicle, this hose delivers the reliability and flexibility required when stock line geometry won't fit your layout. At 30 inches long with straight female AN fittings on both ends, it integrates seamlessly into plumbing configurations where direct hose-to-component connections eliminate unnecessary adapters and potential leak points.

This hose features a braided stainless steel core wrapped in black vinyl coating, protecting the line from abrasion, UV exposure, and engine bay contaminants while maintaining a professional appearance in show-quality installations. The PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) inner lining provides superior chemical resistance and ensures smooth brake fluid flow without degradation over time—critical for maintaining consistent pedal feel and stopping power in both street and track environments. The -3 AN designation refers to the hose size and port thread specification; both ends are equipped with -3 AN straight female connections (3/16-inch tubing compatibility), allowing direct bolt-on installation to matching male ports on master cylinders, proportioning valves, calipers, or custom manifolds.

Fabricators, restoration specialists, and performance builders rely on this hose for custom brake system design where OEM routing is impossible or undesirable. The 30-inch length accommodates mid-engine platforms, engine bay relocations, and creative suspension geometries without requiring multiple shorter segments. Installation is straightforward—secure the hose along the frame or firewall using P-clips or cable ties to prevent vibration-induced chafing, then torque fittings firmly to specification. Verify that both ports accept -3 AN straight female threads before ordering to ensure compatibility with your specific application.
