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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this hose perform under repeated bending and movement?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PTFE inner core resists deformation while the stainless-steel braid distributes stress and protects the tube from chafing.
