Automobile brake hose (also called brake tube) is a component of automobile brake system. The main function of brake hose is to transmit the brake medium in automobile braking to ensure that the braking force is transmitted to the automobile brake shoes. Or the brake caliper generates braking force, so that the braking is effective at any time.
Classification of brake hoses
According to the different types of automobile brakes, it is divided into hydraulic brake hoses, pneumatic brake hoses and vacuum brake hoses. According to its material, it is divided into rubber brake hose and nylon brake hose.

Advantages and disadvantages of brake hoses
The rubber brake hose has the advantages of strong tensile strength and easy installation, but the disadvantage is that the surface is prone to aging after long-term use.
Nylon brake hose has the advantages of anti-aging and corrosion resistance. The disadvantage is that under low temperature conditions, the tensile strength is weakened, and it is easy to break if it is impacted by external forces.
Maintenance of brake hose
The brake hose is an important part to ensure the safe driving of the vehicle. Everyone who uses the car should pay special attention to the usual maintenance and inspection. The following points should be paid attention to in peacetime:
1. Check the brake hose regularly to keep the surface of the brake hose clean to avoid corrosion.
2. Avoid pulling the brake hose with external force.
3. Frequently check whether the joints of the brake hoses are loose and tightly sealed.
4. The brake hose used for a long time should be replaced in time if it is found to be aging, not tightly sealed or scratched.
The impact of brake hose failure on the brake system
If the internal volume of the brake hose becomes larger, the brake system of the car will lag behind.
If there is a rupture, the braking system will fail.
If the brake hose is blocked, it will fail to brake

Why is the brake hose not made of metal
The brake hose is not made of metal because the wheels can fluctuate up and down according to the road conditions, and the front wheels can be turned left and right, so hose connections must be used. The metal tube is not fluctuating and easy to break.
Therefore, metal is not generally used.
