Proflex SS Braided Hose #6 x 6'

The Proflex SS Braided Hose #6 x 6' from Russell is a premium stainless steel braided hydraulic line engineered for high-pressure fluid transfer in motorsports, hydraulic braking systems, power steering, and fuel delivery applications. This 6-foot assembly is designed for technicians and enthusiasts who demand reliability in performance vehicles, race cars, and custom machinery where standard hose fails under extreme pressure or temperature swings. The natural rubber core bonded with braided stainless steel construction delivers both flexibility and durability in demanding environments.

Proflex hose features a reinforced rubber inner tube wrapped in tightly woven stainless steel braid, which resists corrosion, abrasion, and vibration damage far better than single-braid alternatives. The #6 AN (Aeronautical National) designation indicates a nominal 3/8-inch inner diameter, rated for sustained high-pressure service in closed-loop hydraulic circuits. Russell's braided construction allows tight bends and routing in compact engine bays without kinking, while the stainless braid prevents oxidation and maintains appearance under hoods or in exposed installations. The 6-foot length accommodates flexible layout options from fuel rails to brake master cylinders to transmission coolers.

Buyers benefit most when upgrading factory rubber hose in high-performance or vintage restoration projects where pressure spikes and thermal cycling stress standard lines. Installation pairs with AN-6 fittings (sold separately) on both ends; ensure compatible adapter nipples for your specific application—whether carbureted fuel systems, EFI rails, hydraulic clutch setups, or brake lines. Verify pressure rating compatibility with your system's pump output before final assembly. Weighing 1.25 lbs and compact when coiled, this hose ships ready for same-day installation in workshops and garages.
