Hydraulic Brake Line AN3 1/8″ 400-2400mm Fireyouracing Steel Nylon

Description

Product Overview

The Fireyouracing AN3 1/8 inch hydraulic brake line is a precision‑engineered component designed for high‑performance brake systems across a broad spectrum of off‑road and on‑road vehicles. Constructed with a stainless steel core that provides exceptional strength, the line is wrapped in a nylon braid that offers flexibility while maintaining structural integrity. An outer PVC sheath protects the assembly from environmental contaminants, UV exposure, and abrasion, extending the service life of the hose. The product is offered in a range of lengths from 400 mm to 2400 mm, allowing installers to select the exact size required for their application without the need for excessive trimming or splicing. Each variant is finished in one of three color options—green, black, or silver—facilitating easy visual identification during assembly and maintenance.

The brake line conforms to the AN3 1/8 inch standard, featuring a 0.13‑inch outside diameter that matches the specifications of most modern hydraulic brake systems. The internal construction includes a multi‑layer design: a stainless steel wire braid for high‑pressure tolerance, a nylon inner liner for low expansion, and a clear PVC outer layer for chemical resistance. This combination delivers a low expansion coefficient, ensuring that brake fluid pressure remains consistent under both high‑temperature and low‑temperature conditions. The hose is also engineered to resist aging, corrosion, and the effects of hydraulic fluid, making it a reliable choice for demanding environments such as motorsports, utility vehicles, and heavy‑duty automotive applications.

Fireyouracing, the brand behind this product, has a reputation for delivering durable, high‑quality hydraulic components. The company’s commitment to quality is reflected in the rigorous testing each brake line undergoes, including pressure burst testing, temperature cycling, and flex fatigue analysis. The result is a product that not only meets but exceeds industry standards, providing peace of mind to mechanics, racers, and everyday drivers alike.

Usage

The AN3 1/8 inch hydraulic brake line is ideally suited for a variety of applications where reliable brake fluid transfer is critical. It is commonly installed in utility terrain vehicles (UTVs), all‑terrain vehicles (ATVs), sport motorcycles, and passenger cars that employ hydraulic braking systems. The hose’s flexible yet robust construction allows it to be routed through tight engine bays, under chassis frames, and around suspension components without compromising performance.

In off‑road scenarios, such as desert racing or trail riding, the brake line’s PVC outer layer shields it from dust, sand, and mud, while the stainless steel braid resists the high pressures generated during aggressive braking. For automotive enthusiasts who upgrade their brake systems, the line provides a direct‑fit solution that eliminates the need for custom‑fabricated hoses, reducing installation time and potential error.

The product’s low expansion coefficient is particularly beneficial in high‑temperature environments, such as downhill mountain biking or rally racing, where brake fluid can heat rapidly. By minimizing expansion, the line helps maintain consistent pedal feel and reduces the risk of brake fade. Conversely, in cold climates, the nylon inner layer prevents the hose from becoming brittle, ensuring flexibility and preventing cracks.

Installation is straightforward: the hose terminates with standard AN3 1/8 inch fittings that thread securely onto compatible brake calipers, master cylinders, and proportioning valves. Proper torque specifications should be followed to avoid over‑tightening, which could damage the fittings. After installation, a thorough bleed of the brake system is recommended to remove any trapped air and to verify the integrity of the fluid pathway.

The brake line’s versatility also extends to industrial applications, such as hydraulic pressure transfer in small‑scale machinery, where precise fluid control is required. Its resistance to corrosion makes it suitable for use in environments with exposure to moisture or chemicals.

FAQ

What size brake line should I choose for my vehicle?

The AN3 1/8 inch line is compatible with most standard hydraulic brake systems. Choose a length that matches the distance between your master cylinder and brake caliper, allowing a few centimeters of slack for routing. Measuring the existing hose or consulting your vehicle’s service manual will give you the most accurate length.

Can I install this brake line on both left‑hand and right‑hand side applications?

Yes. The hose is symmetrical and the AN3 1/8 inch fittings are interchangeable for left‑hand and right‑hand installations. Ensure that the fittings are tightened to the manufacturer’s torque specifications to prevent leaks.

Is the brake line compatible with brake fluid types such as DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1?

Absolutely. The internal nylon liner and stainless steel braid are chemically compatible with DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1 brake fluids. The PVC outer layer also resists the mild solvents found in these fluids, making the hose suitable for a wide range of brake fluid specifications.

How does the warranty work if I encounter a defect?

If you experience a manufacturing defect within 180 days of purchase, contact Fireyouracing customer service with your order details and a description of the issue. The company will arrange a return authorization, and you may receive a replacement hose or a full refund, depending on stock availability and the nature of the defect.

Can this brake line be used in high‑performance racing applications?

Yes. The hose’s multi‑layer construction, high‑pressure rating, and low expansion coefficient make it well‑suited for racing environments where brake fluid temperatures can exceed 200 °F. Many racers choose this line for its reliability and consistent pedal feel under demanding conditions.
