Flexible Rubber Brake Hose
This Kodiak brake hose is made of rubber, making it a practical choice for a variety of applications. Because you can easily bend it, a rubber hose is simpler to work with than a rigid stainless steel brake line. This flexibility makes a rubber hose great for use with foldaway trailer tongues because it is 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 this hose 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 this hose 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.

Today we're going to take a look at the Kodiak 12" long flexible hydraulic brake hose. Now this brake line will connect your hydraulic brake actuator to your trailer brakes when used with additional lines, Ts and fittings that we sell separately on our website. This hose is a flexible design so it makes it perfect for use with fold away trailer tongues, disc brakes and torsion axles. If you notice on the ends of each of these, they have the stainless steel flares, helps resist corrosion and they're a lot stronger than brass to reduce splitting. This hose is ideal for boat trailers. Also if you notice on the ends, they have these brass male swivel flare nut fittings on each end.
These swivels will allow the flare fittings to turn without the hose twisting and if you notice when you put it up there to tighten it down, it has an open area right here. This will let you use a brake line wrench for a better grip. It'll minimize the risk of stripping the threads, and if you notice the fittings do have deep threads which helps improve the connection to help prevent leaks. If you notice also the fitting is double crimped brass ferrules right here, which will securely cramp it to the hose and the rubber hose does meet the DOT Department of Transportation and SAE standards. Now the total hose length end to end including the fittings, we'll lay a ruler down here and go end to end. You can see right at 12" long.
The inner diameter on the hose is 1/8" and the fitting size is 3/16", thread size is 3/8" by 24. That should do it for the review on the Kodiak 12" long flexible hydraulic brake hose.

I went to two of the three auto parts stores in our little town thinking that a plain brake hose could be had. Turns out that brake hoses these days are all model specific and the clerks politely refused to help me without a part or model #. So I searched the internet and finally found exactly what I wanted here at etrailer. Not only that but the price was very fair and shipping cost was surprisingly low. Delivery was prompt and the after sale follow up from the folks at etrailer gives me chuckle...I ain't never seen this kind of "takin' care of business" for a little $26 order like mine was. This e-business is a "favorite". 489818
Great!!! Well, wish I could give a more definitive report, but the fact is that these parts were installed on a boat trailer and the trailer was used to fetch the boat at a hundred miles distance and now has been sitting in the drive way ever since, due to winter. Will soon be moving it around a bit.
