Coated Braided Line 48in #3 Hose -3 Str/-3 Str

The Coated Braided Line 48in #3 Hose with 3 AN Straight Female to 3 AN Straight Female connections is a professional-grade brake hose engineered for custom automotive builds, race applications, and high-performance hydraulic systems. This 48-inch hose serves builders and mechanics who demand reliability in critical brake line routing, where standard rubber hoses cannot tolerate heat, pressure spikes, or aggressive engine bay layouts. Whether you're fabricating a custom street rod, preparing a track car, or upgrading a vintage restoration, this hose provides the durability and precision fit that separates amateur work from competition-ready installations.

Built by ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE, the Coated Braided Line features a stainless steel braided core wrapped in black vinyl coating for abrasion resistance and a professional appearance under the hood. The PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) inner lining eliminates corrosion and swelling that degrades rubber hoses over time, while maintaining consistent fluid dynamics and preventing vapor lock in high-heat environments. The 3 AN fitting size (equivalent to -3 AN) matches common fuel and brake system configurations on modern performance engines, and the straight female-to-female configuration accommodates flush-mount adapters, banjo fittings, or direct female-port connections. At 0.29 lbs and precisely 48 inches long, this hose balances material substance with ease of routing through tight engine compartments and custom bracket systems.

Experienced fabricators and professional mechanics rely on this hose for custom brake bias bias proportioning, fuel system relocations, and hydraulic line runs where off-the-shelf options fall short. The 48-inch length suits engine bay layouts on sports cars, muscle cars, and tube-frame race vehicles where hose routing must clear headers, turbochargers, or custom intake manifolds. Installation requires standard AN wrenches and a working knowledge of hose pressure ratings—verify your system operates below the hose's rated pressure and avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius. Cross-check all fitting sizes against your master cylinder, proportioning valve, and brake caliper ports before ordering; even small mismatches will compromise brake feel and system safety.
