Flexible Rubber Brake Hoses
Kodiak brake hoses are made of rubber, making them a practical choice for a variety of applications. Because you can easily bend them, rubber hoses are simpler to work with than rigid stainless steel brake lines. This flexibility makes rubber hoses great for use with foldaway trailer tongues because they are less likely to kink or break when bent. In addition, rubber hoses allow for a wide range of motion so articulating parts can effectively function. These qualities make rubber hoses better suited than steel lines for trailers with torsion axle suspension systems and trailers that have disc brakes.
Stainless steel brake lines have braided exteriors, which can not only wear against exterior surfaces, but also against the interior lining of the hose if dirt gets underneath the steel braid. And if the braid on a stainless steel line tears, it can cut into the hose lining. The exterior surface of these hoses is solid rubber, so there are no crevices for debris to enter.
Durable Fittings with Deep Threads
Kodiak brake hoses have corrosion-resistant brass fittings with stainless steel flares. These fittings have a gap built into them that allows room for a line wrench - also called a flare nut wrench - to slide over the line and down to the nut. This type of wrench grips the nut better than a standard open-ended wrench so there is less chance of stripping the threads as you tighten down the nut.
The stainless steel that is used to create the flares on these hoses is stronger than brass. As a result, these fittings are more durable than ones made entirely of brass. The stainless flares are primarily designed to keep the fittings from splitting when you tighten them down, but they offer absolute rust protection as well.
Kodiak's fittings have deeper threads than many other fittings on the market to provide a higher thread engagement. Deeper threads offer an advantage when used with fittings that have the same thread depth. These Kodiak fittings will work with most fittings on the market, but when they're used with other Kodiak fittings, the result is a stronger connection with fewer leaks.

Brake line kit lets you run brake fluid from your surge brake actuator to your trailer brakes. Great for disc brakes and torsion axles. Includes 24', (2) 7', 3-1/2', and (2) 1-1/2' flexible hoses, plus fittings and hardware.This hose kit was installed on a gooseneck equipment trailer used to haul a mini excavator. I was a little hesitant about using all rubber lines due to previous experience with a squishy brake feel on a vehicle due to a bit of swelling in the line absorbing some of the pressure. This just isn't a concern for trailer braking because the actuator pump will simply pump a little more fluid to compensate for any flexing or swelling in the rubber. After using the trailer brakes a few times, I am unable to detect any delay or weakness that might come from the lines flexing or swelling. These rubber lines are much easier to route and secure than steel lines too. All of the fittings fit nicely and the brass should have no corrosion concerns. The only reason I took off one star is that the two hoses that go across the trailer to the passenger side caliper needed to be about 4 inches longer to route them along the trailer frame under my deck. I had to do a sloppy routing to leave enough slack for suspension movement. This isn't likely to be a problem on camper trailers, but my tall deck equipment trailer sits on 12-inch I-beams so it's a long way up to the underside of the deck and then back down to the other caliper. The only thing not included in this kit is the screws or bolts needed to connect the padded clamps to the trailer frame. That's not really a negative thing because not everyone will use the same type of fastener to attach these to their trailer. 619482

1 year later and so far so good. No leaks, no failures. 794099
this product was so easy to install. All the hoses were correct length, it was perfect. Really fast shipping, it was a breeze to install. Thank you for the awesome product, and helping me out , I was leaving for a trip in 2 weeks and really needed it. 793626
Excellent service. 777942
Great item. Will make installation a lot easier. 775934
This product worked great. I'm so glad there is a kit that has all this together. The hoses are much higher quality than what I took off the trailer. I wish there had been an option to pay a little more to get stainless clamps as I launch in salt water 90% of the time. I will buy this kit again when the time comes. 774466
Great company to deal with. 756727

Super-fast shipping. Right parts. Great customer service! 722933
Excellent kit and staff was very knowledgeable. Everything went on my trailer and worked perfectly. I would not hesitate to order from etrailer again. 718863
running lines for brakes was easy. Had all the connectors and pieces I needed. Be careful though if you have to remove the line from the caliper as I think they are metric and caps are not easy to find. 703889
Just finished, almost finished, installing the new pads, rotors and brake lines. All materials look to be high winds, very happy with them. The customer service people I worked with were awesome, very knowledgeable and helpful. Love dealing with etrailer. 698893
Thanks!! What a great experience with etrailer.com. Trailer needed many parts, rusted, broken etc. Tried to contact maker of trailer for replacement parts, bad experience. Rude, unwilling to help, handling fees, VERY expensive shipping, and cash up front. I then turned to etrailer.com! Fantastic people on the line, sales personal were Kind, patient, and very knowledgeable about all my trailer needs. My parts arrived quickly, free shipping, and accurate. Not to mention I saved a bunch of money!!!! New Break System from front to back, new Trailer Winch. Thanks, Customer for life! 680275
I have a Tri axle Boat Trailer. Ordered all parts needed to covert over from drum brakes to Kodiak Disc. All parts arrived in great shape, nothing missing and it all went back together fairly easy. Great products and Very knowledgeable Staff. 673705
Looks good, I'll begin the install in a couple of days, I'll send a picture when complete. I'll also need to order a set of 12" brakes after I confirm the size 650209
These lines are great. I'm so glad I didn't use steel lines. I could have used a shorter kit but everything coiled up and is out of the way. Again, thanks Geoff 592996
Just right 585293
I placed my order and was notified that all of what I had ordered was not available at the time . So E - Trailer informed me they would send what was in stock and ship the rest without charging me extra. But what I really like is the service, keeping me posted on my parts . The wheels and rims were perfect. The break lines are amazing. Got away from metal and went to rubber. The hydraulic brake actuator a perfect fit . Everything is of great quality and working like a champ. 578542
this kit is perfect, did not have to worry about kinking hard lines, flare tools, etc. No noticeable difference in braking perfermance. 510559
great product, high quality 498503
Hoses seem to be good quality, the hose Looms are made of poor Quality Steel not high enough standard for saltwater use 496601
Fast shipping and very easy to install. This is my first time ever installing brakes on a trailer, and instructions were very easy to follow. The entire project was done in about 4 hours, including 2 trips to the store for supplies I should have had ahead of time (marine grease, brake fluid and bolts). 490768
Added this hose kit, to my installation process, easy to use. 442602
Products arrived quickly. Heather at customer service was great to deal with (item was backordered). Will definitely buy from here again 381899
Ordered on Monday, received on Saturday, installed Sunday. The hoses are very flexible and are high quality. Stainless clamps, brass "Ts" and nice hose ends. Replacing all brake components on my 1990 EZloader trailer. 361937
