Detailed Product Description

The Dorman H38908 brake hydraulic hose is a flexible hose designed to transfer brake fluid between the master cylinder and brake calipers or wheel cylinders.

The black rubber outer sleeve provides additional protection against abrasion and environmental factors. Both ends of the hose are fitted with treated steel connectors—male on one end and female on the other—ensuring secure and leak-free connections. The specific thread diameters of 7/16 in-24 (male) and 1/2 in-20 (female) allow compatibility with certain vehicle brake systems requiring these fittings. With an overall length of 9.25 inches, this hose is designed for precise replacement needs.
