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 24' hydraulic brake hose with 3/16" male fittings and stainless flares. Now this brake line will connect the hydraulic brake actuator to your trailer brakes when used with additional lines, tees, and fittings that we do sell separately on our website, and they're usually listed on this product page as a related product. This is a flexible design, so it makes the hose easier to install than a rigid steel brake line. If you notice on the ends, they use stainless steel flares to help resist corrosion, and they're stronger than brass to help reduce splitting. They are ideal for boat trailers. If you notice, the fittings themselves are a brass male swivel flared up fitting on both ends.
The swivel fittings will allow the flare fittings to turn without the hose twisting. If you notice the length on them, it has some deep threads to improve your connection, to help prevent any leaks. There is also an open area, so when you see it's going to tight down, you see there's an open area here on the flare fittings. This will let you use a line wrench for better grip, and it will minimize the risk of stripping your threads. If you notice right here, they use the double-crimped brass ferules that will securely clamp the fittings to the hose. The rubber hose itself does meet the DOT and SAE standards.
A few specs on this. The length again is 24'. When you include the fittings on each end, it's 24'3". The inner diameter of the hose is 1/8". The fitting size is 3/16", and the thread size on it is 3/8" x 24 threads per inch.
But that should do it for the review on the Kodiak 24' hydraulic brake hose with the 3/16" male fittings and the stainless flares.

I replaced my electric RV brakes with Kodiak hydraulic brakes, on my 2015 Forest River Sandpiper 5th wheel. Best thing I have ever done. loaded it weighs 15,500# electric brakes were terrible at stopping. We went all the way to Alaska they were great in the Mountains especially going downhill. Were not too bad installing either. Had to be a little creative on running brake lines. Good Luck Happy Camper 489744
Product replaced a rusted-out brake line inside a trailer frame that regularly goes in saltwater; there is NO way to rinse out the inside of the frame with freshwater. This line is a perfect solution, because the brake line is rubber hose, and the fittings on this brake line are stainless steel, and they're on the outside where they'll get regular rinsing. Great customer service experience too; couldn't find the item online, even with the Search function, but the rep found it right away and gave me the part number over the phone. Of course Search finds it with the part number!(LOL!) 717664

Web site worked very well. Received the brake lines within a reasonable time frame since they had to go all the way to the west coast. Product was easy to find on their site and they were exactly as shown. Prices were within budget and much easier that fighting traffic locally. I will order again from them when needed. 297844
