Brake Hoses and Lines

DESCRIPTION
The chassis brake tubes are steel with a corrosion resistant coating applied to the external surfaces. The flex hoses are made of reinforced rubber.






All available brake systems on this vehicle use the same type of brake line fittings and tubing flares. The brake line fittings used are double-wall ISO style tubing flares and fittings at all tubing joint locations. Only the outlets of the proportioning valves and the rear flex hoses threading into them have non-ISO style flares. They are double-inverted style flares. Refer to figure for specific joint locations and tube fitting size.

OPERATION
The purpose of the chassis brake tubes and flex hoses is to transfer the pressurized brake fluid developed by the master cylinder to the wheel brakes of the vehicle. The flex hoses are made of rubber to allow for the movement of the vehicle's steering and suspension.
