Pro Comp Brake Hose
A brake hose is a flexible rubber hose used to join hydraulic brake components. The master cylinder is connected to each wheel by brakes and hoses. Brake hoses are especially constructed flexible tubes with metal ends for transmitting fluid under extreme pressure. The hydraulic system is filled with a special brake fluid which is forced through the hoses by the movement of the master cylinders' pistons. The estimated life of a typical brake hose like the Pro Comp brake hose is six years. By then, they become safety hazards. Several factors could contribute to the deterioration of your brake hose; these include the moisture absorption into the brake fluid through the hose, contaminants in the brake fluid are abrasive. Also, the hose reinforcing fabric weakens from expansion and moisture could also add to the weakening of the life span of a brake hose. Other factors are the constant flexing from steering and suspension that leads to the weakening of the hose and the swelling of the brake hoses which causes restricted flow. Pro Comp brake hose offers the following features; it is made of stainless steel. If your vehicle is raised 4 to 6 inches, these stainless steel brake hoses are perfect for your driving. The stainless steel flexible lines will not swell under the increased braking pressure caused by larger tires. Pro Comp brake hose will also guarantee you of a better pedal feel and response. These brake hoses were able to meet the Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications and they also comply with all the international standards.
