Routing brake lines on a foldaway tongue and the standard hose comes up short or overstretched? This 40" hydraulic line links your actuator to the system without looping or strain. Perfect for offset runs, frame tabs, and foldaway hinge setups.
Brake line routing becomes a problem when standard hose lengths force a loop or stretch to reach the next connection. This 40" rubber hydraulic brake line bridges that gap as the connector hose from your actuator to the rest of the system, giving you the extra length for offset runs, frame tabs, and foldaway hinge setups. With a 40" hose length, you can route it where it needs to go instead of where a shorter line forces it. The line reaches without tension or unnecessary slack, helping prevent premature wear at the fittings.
Rigid line routing doesn't tolerate movement well, and trailers see constant motion. The flexible rubber construction is built for situations where the line sees motion and vibration, including foldaway tongues, disc brakes, and torsion axles. A rubber hose that can flex beats fighting a line that wants to kink or fatigue at a high-stress point. The result is a connection that stays intact through normal trailer movement instead of becoming a repeat repair point.
Brake leaks and stuck fittings usually show up when hardware corrodes or the seal never really seats right in the first place. This line uses brass male inverted-flare fittings that are more pliable than steel for a stronger, leak-resistant seal, and they resist rust. The fittings are 3/16" with 3/8"-24 threads, so you're working with defined, standard connection details instead of guessing. The end result is fewer seep-prone joints and fittings that don't turn into a corrosion project later.
Sometimes a straight connection works, and sometimes the layout requires a tighter bend. The wrong fitting angle limits your routing options. This hose runs straight fittings on both ends, keeping the baseline setup simple and predictable. If your layout needs a tight corner, you can add a 90-degree adapter (DE94SR sold separately) instead of forcing the hose into an unsupported bend. The routing fits your trailer's geometry without stressing the line at the fittings.
Brake lines aren't the place for mystery parts or close enough materials. This hose meets federal standards with DOT and SAE certification, keeping the line's safety and performance tied to recognized requirements for hydraulic brake systems. That matters when you're replacing questionable parts or finishing a full brake overhaul and want the critical connection points to be documented and consistent. Install it knowing the line meets documented brake-system requirements.

Hi everyone, Steven here with etrailer. Today we're looking at our DeeMaxx hydraulic brake line. It's a rubber brake line, 3/16 of an inch with a brass male inverted flare on each end, and it's a total of 40 inches long. So this hose was primarily used for connecting to your actuator. The 40 inch line links your brake actuator to the rest of your hydraulic system. And I just wanna kind of show you the closeup of both of these ends.
Again, these are both male inverted connectors and they can thread in, and this is great for foldaway tongues, disc brakes, torsion axles. It can handle the movement, the vibration and the brass fittings here are more pliable than steel. They're gonna create a stronger leak resistant seal, and they're gonna resist rust, corrosion and those kind of things as well. So again, both of these have a straight fitting on both heads, so if you need a different one that maybe has a 90 degree or something like that, we sell those separately and some adapters separately as well. Well folks, that's gonna wrap up our quick look together at this DeeMaxx hydraulic brake line.
I'm Steven. Have a good one.
