The heavy duty, protective, full stainless steel braid on the outside of these braided hoses adds exceptional durability, flexibility, and light weight to its design. It is specifically made to withstand a variety of fluids, including methanol, nitromethane, oil, coolant, brake, transmission, clutch, power steering fluids, and nitrous oxide. Compared to standard rubber nitrile stainless steel braided hoses, the PTFE extruded core in this hose greatly increases its longevity and toughness. With its tight double braiding, good bend radius, and high pressure rating, this superb quality stainless steel braided hose is suitable for use in brake lines, clutch lines, and for oil and fuel. It offers a superior alternative to rubber hoses, ensuring no swelling or loss of braking energy. Additionally, the PTFE material creates an impermeable barrier against fuel vapor, making it safe for use both inside and outside of the vehicle.
