 Speed-Flex Hose Assembly
3AN Female Swivel-Seal
to 90° 3AN Female Swivel-Seal
Important: When considering the replacement of stock rubber brake hoses with stainless
braid-protected hose of extruded teflon you should consider the following facts:
The use of stainless braid protected teflon brake hose assemblies will result in a firmer
brake pedal, improved brake pedal "feel" and better brake modulation. These hoses will not
necessarily provide longer hose life or any other advantage.
We have independent test lab reports on file showing that prototype assemblies exceeded
D.O.T. recommendations in all categories. The only continuing test program however, is a
4000 P.S.I. hydrostatic pressure test of every assembly that we make. We do not claim that
any individual hose assembly is certifiable to D.O.T. standards and we therefore must
advise you that they are sold to be used on off-road applications only. We make no claim
of useability or suitability for highway or road use. Teflon brake hoses must be installed
by an experienced professional mechanic. After installation each hose must be both clean
and free flowing. There must be no possibility that the installed hose assemblies can
stretch, crimp or kink under any conditions of wheel travel and steering angle. As with any
hose installation, periodic inspection of hose condition is essential.

These factory assembled hoses are made from the same Speed-Flex stainless steel braid
protected hose of extruded teflon that is the world wide standard of the racing industry for
flexible brake, clutch and instrument hoses. Hoses are assembled with Earl's Speed-Flex
crimp and/or swaged permanently installed hose ends.Each hose is pressure tested to 4,000
psi.
Typical applications include: medium pressure hydraulic systems, flexible brake
and clutch hoses, and instrument hoses (most racing sanctioning bodies forbid the use of
unarmored hoses in the cockpit area).
Maximum Operating Pressure: 2,000 psi.
