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

The Coated Braided Line 6in #3 Hose -3 Str/-3 Str from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is a precision-engineered brake hose assembly purpose-built for high-performance vehicles, custom hot rods, and motorsports applications where reliability under pressure is non-negotiable. This 6-inch braided hose connects dual -3 AN straight female fittings and serves as the critical link between master cylinders and brake calipers in modified brake systems. Whether you're building a dedicated track car, restoring a classic with modern stopping power, or upgrading a street machine's braking circuit, this hose delivers the consistent hydraulic flow and burst resistance required for street and competition use.

Construction is where this component earns its reputation: the hose features a PTFE (Teflon) inner lining that resists brake fluid degradation and maintains smooth internal flow, a stainless steel braided outer layer that withstands vibration and abrasion, and a black vinyl coating that protects the braid from UV exposure and corrosive undercarriage environments. The -3 AN designation indicates a nominal 3/16-inch inside diameter, sized to balance response with adequate flow volume for single or dual-caliper setups. Both terminations are straight female 3 AN connectors, allowing direct coupling to hose ends, adapters, or distribution blocks without fittings that introduce weak points or dead legs in the brake line.

Mechanics and fabricators favor this 6-inch length for tight engine bays, custom frame rails, and modular brake system layouts where routing flexibility matters. The -3 to -3 female-to-female configuration integrates seamlessly into systems using standard -3 AN hardware across master cylinders, proportioning valves, and caliper inlet ports. Install between components, secure using adel clamps at mid-span to eliminate resonance, and torque fittings hand-tight plus 1/4 turn to avoid over-tightening brass seats. Weighing just 0.09 lbs, this compact hose adds minimal mass while meeting DOT FMVSS 571.106 standards for street-legal brake systems and sanctioning body requirements for amateur and professional motorsports competition.
