Coated Braided Line 36in #3 Hose -3 Str/-3 Str

The Coated Braided Line 36in #3 Hose -3 Str/-3 Str from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is a professional-grade hydraulic brake hose assembly engineered for high-performance vehicles, race cars, and systems requiring precision fluid transfer. This 36-inch braided hose connects two 3 AN straight female fittings and serves as a critical component in custom brake line installations where OEM routing or configurations don't meet performance requirements. Built to withstand the thermal cycling and pressure demands of motorsports and heavy-duty applications, this hose eliminates flex and maintains consistent brake feel under extreme conditions.

Construction features a PTFE (Teflon) inner lining paired with braided stainless-steel reinforcement and a black vinyl outer coating for chemical and abrasion resistance. The PTFE lining prevents corrosion and maintains brake fluid compatibility while the braided structure distributes pressure loads evenly, reducing hose expansion and ensuring repeatable brake response. The -3 AN fitting designation indicates 3/16-inch port diameter, a standard size in motorsports applications where space and weight optimization matter. This configuration—straight female to straight female—allows seamless integration into existing manifold ports or adapter blocks without requiring additional reducers or transition fittings.

Brake system builders, vintage car restorers, and performance shops rely on this hose for custom brake line fabrication where off-the-shelf lines won't fit factory mounting points or new configurations. The 36-inch length accommodates mid-engine, front-engine, and rear-engine layouts, making it adaptable across multiple platforms. Installation requires AN hose end tools and proper tightening procedures to achieve leak-free seals; dry-fitting before final assembly prevents cross-threading. Inspect routing to avoid sharp bends (minimum bend radius 4 inches for -3 AN) and secure the line away from exhaust heat sources and rotating components.
