Coated Braided Line 36in #4Hose -4Str/ 1/8in

The Coated Braided Line 36in #4Hose -4Str/ 1/8in from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is a precision-engineered brake hose designed for high-performance automotive and motorsport applications where reliability under pressure is non-negotiable. This 36-inch hose assembly serves operators and technicians who demand consistent hydraulic performance in demanding environments—from track days to heavy-duty fleet maintenance. Purpose-built with dual-ended fittings (4 AN female to 1/8 inch NPT male), this hose bridges connection incompatibilities without adapter clusters, reducing leak points and simplifying installation on custom or modified brake systems.

The core advantage lies in its construction: a braided stainless steel exterior with black vinyl coating protects against abrasion, UV degradation, and fluid splash, while the PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) internal lining ensures smooth hydraulic flow and resists contamination. Braided construction inherently provides superior burst resistance and flexibility compared to solid tubing, critical when routing hoses through tight engine bays or around moving components. The 4 AN (AN-4) designation indicates a nominal inner diameter of 1/4 inch, standard for mid-range brake and fuel system applications. Black vinyl coating serves both functional and aesthetic purposes—it dissipates minor heat, prevents moisture entrapment, and maintains a clean appearance on show vehicles and daily drivers alike.

This hose excels in custom brake line fabrication, fuel system upgrades, and emergency hydraulic repairs where OEM hoses are unavailable or inadequate. Mechanics and fabricators benefit from the mixed-gender fitting design—the 4 AN female end accommodates standard -4 AN male fittings (banjo bolts, straight adapters, 90-degree adapters), while the 1/8 inch NPT male threads directly into component ports on classic vehicles, vintage trucks, and industrial equipment. The 36-inch length suits most under-hood routing scenarios without requiring splicing; trim as needed for custom applications. Weighing only 0.32 pounds, this line introduces negligible mass penalty while delivering the pressure rating and safety margins expected in motorsport-grade hydraulic systems.
