FAQ
Are your hoses D.O.T. Certified?
Absolutely! we have been approved and given a registration number by the D.O.T.
All brake hoses manufactured with the equipment we use and the components meet or
exceed DOT FMVSS106 and SAE J1401 standards.
Why should I care if the hoses are D.O.T approved?
When a hose has D.O.T. certification it means that the Equipment, Parts and Process all
met the requirements to make a safe hose. Unfortunately there are people selling counterfeit
brake hoses to the public that have not been D.O.T. approved which makes them illegal to
use in the USA. Are you risking your Life and Vehicle for less than $100.00
How are the hoses identified as being D.O.T Certified?
All the hoses we make must have our D.O.T. number crimped into the fitting when made.
So at any time, no matter where our hoses go, they can be traced back to us.
What about liability?
We carry a $5 Million product liability policy that we must have in order to make and sell brake hoses.
Do you test your hoses?
All hoses are pressure tested to 3000 psi, twice the maximum operating pressure of any normal vehicle.
Do you make Custom hoses?
Yes, we can make almost any configuration you need to make your Custom or Rod
look great. No need in having a hose that is to long or to short, or a bunch of hodgepodge
adapters to make it fit.
Normally how long does a brake hose last?
The average life expectancy of a brake hose is about six years once it is put into service.
Do you make Rubber Hoses?
Yes, We can make any hose in either Rubber or Braided Stainless Steel. Many people choose
Rubber over Braided Stainless to save money. And keep the OEM look.
