Allstar Performance braided stainless brake hose 48 in — 3 AN straight to 3 AN 90° female, PTFE-lined, low expansion

Allstar Performance 48-inch braided stainless brake hose with PTFE lining provides a durable, flexible connection between a 3 AN straight female fitting and a 3 AN 90° female fitting for reliable brake-fluid compatibility.

This braided brake hose combines a smooth PTFE inner liner with a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel braid to deliver improved longevity and reduced expansion compared with standard rubber hoses. Designed for situations that require bending or repeated flexing, the hose measures 48 inches and pairs a straight 3 AN female fitting on one end with a 3 AN 90° female fitting on the other, making it suitable for custom plumbing runs and tight-access brake assemblies. Manufactured in the United States, each hose is sold individually and built to withstand abrasion and exposure common in automotive environments.

How does this hose perform under repeated bending and movement?

The PTFE inner core resists deformation while the stainless-steel braid distributes stress and protects the tube from chafing. Compared to rubber lines, this construction reduces swell and deformation when exposed to pressure cycles, giving more consistent brake response over time.

• PTFE lining maintains shape and resists brake fluids.
• Stainless braid reduces abrasion and protects against cuts.
• Designed for applications with flex and movement.

Is the hose compatible with common brake fluids and fittings?

The inner PTFE tube is chemically compatible with DOT brake fluids, making it safe for typical hydraulic systems. The fittings are sized to 3 AN (dash 3) female threads—one straight and one 90°—so it integrates easily with AN-standard brake plumbing and adapters.

• PTFE safe for DOT brake fluids.
• 3 AN female fittings match AN-standard components.
• One straight and one 90° end for versatile routing.

What size and packaging details should I expect when ordering?

This unit is 48 inches long and sold individually. The hose ships in compact packaging with approximate package dimensions of 8.5" x 6.0" x 1.0" and a lightweight parcel weight near 0.3 pounds, simplifying storage and installation preparation.

• Overall length: 48 inches.
• Package dimensions: 8.5" L x 6.0" W x 1.0" H.
• Package weight about 0.3 pounds; single hose per package.

How durable is the hose in outdoor and corrosive conditions?

The exterior stainless-steel braid resists rust and surface wear that commonly shortens the life of rubber hoses. While not indestructible, the braided cover offers better protection against road debris, oil, and moisture, extending service life in harsh environments.

• Stainless braid protects against abrasion and corrosion.
• PTFE inner liner reduces fluid degradation effects on hose walls.
• Constructed for applications exposed to road and engine bay wear.

Who is this for: This Allstar Performance braided brake hose is intended for automotive enthusiasts, fabricators, racers, and professional mechanics who need a reliable, AN-fitting brake line for custom routing or replacement where flexibility and resistance to wear are priorities. It fits projects that require a 48" length and a 3 AN straight female to 3 AN 90° female configuration—and is especially useful when standard rubber hoses fail under repeated flexing or abrasion-prone installations.
