Coated Braided Line 6in #3 Hose -3 Str/-3 90 Deg

The Coated Braided Line 6in #3 Hose with -3 Str/-3 90 Deg configuration is a precision brake line assembly engineered for high-performance automotive systems requiring reliable fluid transfer under demanding conditions. This adapter hose connects hydraulic circuits where space constraints or angled routing necessitate both straight and 90-degree female connections at -3 AN specifications. Purpose-built for race cars, performance street vehicles, and custom brake system installations, this component bridges the gap between fixed hard lines and movable suspension components.

Constructed from braided stainless steel with a protective black vinyl coating, the Coated Braided Line 6in #3 Hose delivers durability and corrosion resistance in engine bays and underbody environments. The PTFE inner lining ensures brake fluid compatibility while resisting degradation from moisture and temperature cycling—critical for maintaining system integrity during sustained braking events. At 6 inches in length with -3 AN (3/16-inch) port sizing, this hose accommodates compact engine bay layouts while maintaining adequate volumetric capacity for responsive brake modulation. The dual female configuration (straight on one end, 90-degree on the other) eliminates the need for separate adapter fittings, reducing potential leak points and simplifying installation complexity.

Fabricators, race teams, and performance enthusiasts benefit most from this component when routing brake lines around turbochargers, superchargers, or custom firewall modifications where standard hard-line geometry proves impractical. The -3 AN female-to-female design pairs directly with -3 AN male fittings on master cylinders, proportioning valves, or caliper blocks without requiring external adapters. Installation demands proper hose clipping and isolation from exhaust heat sources; the vinyl coating provides thermal protection but does not eliminate the need for adequate clearance from manifolds exceeding 300°F. OEM and aftermarket brake systems utilizing -3 AN porting benefit from this assembly's flexibility and compact footprint, making it ideal for restoration work, custom fabrication projects, or replacement of damaged hose runs.
