The overall length of 36 inches includes the fittings, and the hose is offered here with straight female fittings on both ends for simple, direct connections. Built in the United States, the construction prioritizes chemical resistance to common brake fluids and improved wear resistance compared with conventional rubber hoses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the PTFE lining improve hose performance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) inner liner resists swelling and degradation from brake fluids and many hydraulic fluids, preserving flow characteristics over time.
