Flexible Brake Hose with 90-Degree Swivel
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.
And because this hose has a 90-degree fitting on one end, you can install it in tight spaces where there is limited clearance. So you won't have to make a kink in the hose to fit it up against your fender or in any other tight spot.
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.

Fit great. Installed on trailer with all the other brake parts I purchased from you guys. Made for a excellent resurrection of a very neglected trailer. On the road again and safely.
Clifford - 06/03/2020This brake line was just as needed. There are numerous fitting styles for brake lines and the pictures and description on the site were excellent allowing me to choose the correct part.
I can't see any reason this wont work just fine. It has the required DOT 'approval' stamp and is pretty flexible. With the 90 degree it should screw in the fitting of the brake actuator and make a cleaner bend through the floor of the 5ers basement then the usual hard steel line. I do wish that the rubber cover was a little heavier with some reinforcing ribbing such as what a motor vehicle uses for their hydraulic brakes. Fortunately, it will probably outlast our ownership of the RV

Great, rugged brake hoses. Mine have held up great over the past year. Even with several tire blowouts these hoses are still holding up strong.
I redid the brake system on my bass boat trailer last year, and used the Kodiak brake lines. I couldn't be happier. Great product, great performance, and great customer service. I replaced metal lines (along with master cylinder and brake assemblies on the axles) on my 30 year old boat trailer that had gotten gunked up over time. These lines were easy to install, easy to secure to the trailer rails, and have performed flawlessly. I drove the boat to a lake 250 miles away from home last weekend, and it still stops like a dream.
Products were quick ship very fast pictures to come
Although USPS lost the package, ETrailer replaced packaged and was of great help following through two make sure all was OK.
Used this hose to connect my Hydra Star Pump to my 3 axle toyhauler. Made brackets to secure the bottom end of hose to trailer. Just got it hooked up so not sure of vibration but I am comfortable knowing that the hard line will not be subject to vibration and movement. Very Satisfied.
Exactly what I was looking for? Quick shipping and high-quality part. Nice company to deal with.
I love disc brakes on our 5th wheel. I didn't plan on a blowout wrecking a brake hose. My advice is to carry spares. These a great and can save a trip.

great service
I was very happy with the break line hose. It fit perfectly and it arrived sooner than I was told it would. I would recommend this with out a doubt. Thank you for the great service.
Was a direct replacement. Would recomm end.
Great, rugged hose that fit my Kodiak hydraulic brakes on a Renegade stacker trailer. Keep in mind your suspension travel when measuring your hose length.
Installed on my 4winns boat trailer and it works. My only problem is with the female end. It is kind of deep and the nut/tubing flare from the master cylinder line almost wasn't long enough to engage the tubing flare at the bottom of the this part. I was ready to file off some of the hex nut surface so it would go in deeper but I tested it and it didn't leak so good enough.
Great job thanks
Excellent service
You were recommended by the manufacturer as they said your price would be much better. Parts were correct and easy installation. Great service and got me back on the road quick.
shipping was prompt and the products was just as described
