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.

Ordered a 20" brake line for my trailer and received it quickly and at a very good price. Haven't been able to finish the installation however the ends did fit the master cylinder perfectly, just need some dry weather to get under the trailer and connect the hose to the distribution fitting then bleed the system and away we go. 386226

Ask the Experts about this Kodiak Accessories and Parts
- Will Kodiak Brake Line # BH-3MFS-20 Fit Tie Down ActuatorI looked up the part number you listed and it's a standard brake line what is used on most surge brake actuators. That means the Kodiak part # BH-3MFS-20 would fit and work well since it uses the same thread size of 3/8"-24.
view full answer... - Will Kodiak Brake Line # BH-3MFS-20 Work with UFP A75 ActuatorYes, the Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Hose # BH-3MFS-20 that you referenced is the correct brake line to use with your UFP actuator as it has the same fitting size of 3/16 inch.
view full answer... - Availability of Rubber Brake Line for 22 foot Continental Boat TrailerWe have rubber brake lines that will work but I don't know exactly what length you need so we have a few options you will need to consider. Part # BH-3MFS-20 is 20 feet long, part # BH-3MFS-24 is 24 feet long, and # BH-3MFS-18 is 18 feet long.
view full answer... - Kodiak Brake Line # BH-3MFS-20 Pressure RatingAccording to my contact at Kodiak Trailer, their # BH-3MFS-20 Brake Hose has a maximum psi rating of 3,000 lbs. That's about twice as much as what's normally seen in a disc brake setup.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Line For 1999 Trailer For Larson 233 Escape BoatThe best way to find a brake line that will work for your trailer is to take a quick measurement. You will want to measure from the actuator at the front of your trailer back to the Tee for the brake lines running to the brakes. From my research I saw that the Larson 233 boats were all on tandem trailers. I have attached a link to the brake lines product page we offer. You can select a line that best matches the length of the line you are wanting to replace or you can go with an easier...
view full answer... - Outer Diameter Dimension of Kodiak Brake Line Rubber HoseI was able to go out to the warehouse and measure the outer diameter of the hose on the # BH-3MFS-20 for you and found that it was .411 inches with a digital caliper like # PTW80157 which is just under 27/64ths of an inch.
view full answer... - Shorter Brake Line Recommendation than Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Hose BH-3MFS-20We have the 7 foot section part # BH-3MFS-7 which is the shorter version of the # BH-3MFS-20 that you referenced. Or for just slightly shorter we have the 18 foot long section part # BH-3MFS-18.
view full answer... - Option for Getting 21 Foot Long Flexible Brake Line SectionIf you need a section of flexible brake line that is longer than the # bh-3mfs-20 you would want the part # bh-3mfs-24 which is 24 feet long instead. I wish we had a 21 foot long section but you would either need to use the 24 foot section or add a 1 foot section to the 20 foot section with part # bh-3mfs-1.
view full answer... - Will Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Hose BH-3MFS-20 Work with Surge BrakesYes, the brake line part # BH-3MFS-20 that you referenced is perfectly compatible with trailers that have surge brakes.
view full answer... - Could Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Hose # BH-3MFS-20 be Used on TruckThe Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Hose # BH-3MFS-20 you referenced meet and/or exceeds SAE and DOT standards so there's no reason you couldn't use it on your truck.
view full answer... - Compatibility of Kodiak # BH-3MFS-20 Flex Brake Hose with Disc Braking System on TrailerThe Kodiak 20 foot long flexible brake hose, part # BH-3MFS-20 would work great connecting your brake actuator to the disc brakes on your trailer. Brackets like # T0776300 and tees like # BH-T-3FIF are sold separately. Shorter lengths of hose like # BH-3MFS-3-5 are available to join the tee to the brake calipers.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Line/Hose for Dexter 8K Disc Brake AxleThere are several brake lines in varying lengths and sizes between your disc brake assembly and the surge brake coupler on your trailer. I am not sure which one you are looking for but if you can pinpoint this for me I may have some better advice for you. In the meantime, I have attached for you a photo that shows what brake lines go to and from a disc brake assembly and surge brake coupler on a tandem axle trailer.

- How to Install a Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit on a Trailer with Surge BrakesIn order to install a Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit like part # FHDPB230101 on a trailer with surge brakes you are going to want to use a flexible brake line that runs from the actuator to the t-fitting just before it splits to each braking assembly. This hose can been seen as letter A in the attached photo. The hose can actually be ran through the frame rail you will just need to make sure you have enough slack so it does not put too much tension on the line when the tongue is in...

- Can a 20 Foot Brake Hose be Substituted for 18 Foot Hose on Brake Line Kit?Yes for the Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Single Axle # 18SI-BLKIT what you could do is replace the 18 foot hose with the 20 foot Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Hose # BH-3MFS-20. It is the exact same hose that comes with the Kodiak kit except it is 2 feet longer. I've added a link to a video review of this hose for you to take a look at.
