Construction & Design

The AutoMeter braided stainless steel line features a high-quality PTFE inner hose, which is known for its chemical inertness and low permeability. The PTFE lining ensures that fluids flow smoothly with minimal pressure drop, while resisting swelling or degradation from aggressive fluids. Surrounding the inner hose is a Type 304 stainless steel braid, which provides exceptional strength, abrasion resistance, and heat shielding. This combination results in a flexible, durable, and reliable hose capable of withstanding extreme conditions.

The fittings included are crafted from corrosion-resistant materials, with options such as 1/8" NPT female right angle and -3AN male fittings, allowing for secure, leak-proof connections. The fittings are designed for easy installation and compatibility with standard automotive fluid systems. The hose length of 6 feet offers ample flexibility for custom routing, and the pass-through grommet facilitates clean firewall or chassis pass-throughs, reducing the risk of chafing or damage.

Performance & Sound

This braided stainless steel line is engineered to support high-pressure fluid transfer with minimal flow restriction. Its construction ensures consistent performance under demanding conditions, making it suitable for high-performance and racing applications.
