Durable Construction and Design Features

The Dorman H38857 brake hydraulic hose features a flexible EPDM rubber hose material that resists heat, ozone, and brake fluid degradation.

This hose includes a stamped steel bracket for mounting stability and gaskets to ensure a leak-free seal.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

This brake hydraulic hose is compatible with Honda Civic models requiring a 26-inch flexible brake hose with banjo and female fittings. It is commonly used to address issues such as:

• Brake fluid leaks due to worn or cracked hoses
• Reduced brake responsiveness caused by damaged or rigid brake lines

• Vibration or noise from loose or missing mounting brackets
• Brake system maintenance or replacement during routine service

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dorman H38857 brake hydraulic hose, ensure the stamped steel bracket is securely mounted to prevent hose movement. Use the included gaskets to create a proper seal at the fitting connections. Avoid twisting or kinking the hose during installation to maintain flexibility and prevent premature wear. It is recommended to bleed the brake system after installation to remove any air and ensure optimal brake performance.
