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.

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
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!)
I ordered a 24ft hydraulic hose to complete a new disc brake install, it was a fast and easy install as the fittings and overall length were a perfect fit making the job go very fast and easy, Add that to the best pricing I could find @ etrailer made the project painless
fast shipping and just as advertised . great place to buy from. thanks e-trailer. tom
tom j - 08/11/2016Web 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.
Extremely fast shipping. The brake line arrived well packaged and was a perfect replacement for the brake line on my trailer. Etrailer even followed up to make sure I was satisfied. Great buying experience.
I have ordered several boat trailer parts and been very satisfied.
