Brake Line Thread Identification: What it Entails

Learn requirements of D.O.T. approved air brake hoses
We find it surprising that some mechanics use hydraulic hose for air brake applications. Perhaps they figure that since hydraulic hose is rated at a much higher pressure than air brake hose it is safe to use. The truth is that a hose assembly must meet much more requirements than adequate working pressure in order to assure safety.
