What quality is the braided steel? Marine grade stainless steel braid is more resistant to corrosion than the ‘standard’ grade that is commonly used and will prolong the life of the lines.
What material is the inner core made from?
Many aftermarket braided lines use cheap nylon hoses. However DuPont® Teflon® offers much greater resistance to heat compared to nylon, not only preventing softening, expansion and loss of shape, but is also constructed with a consistent internal diameter and smooth bore, delivering more efficient fluid flow.
Coping with pressure? Brake lines need to operate under extreme pressure, which is one of the reasons for upgrading to braided types. So it is important that lines are individually tested before leaving the factory. Making the grade All Venhill braided brake hoses are manufactured using marine grade stainless braid with a DuPont® Teflon® core and are covered with an extruded PVC jacket. Their Powerhose Plus range is supplied with swivel fittings. For further peace of mind, every hose that leaves the Venhill factory is pressure tested to 1500psi. In addition, every 30 days random hoses are pressure tested up to 10,000psi. That is why Venhill lines meet and exceed both American DOT and German TUV requirements – one of the few production brake lines to meet both standards.
