Safety
With age, 'Rubber Brake Hoses' will crack, fracture, swell, blister and perish. The average estimated life of a typical rubber brake hose is 6 years. This is caused by many reasons including these facts:
- Rubber Brake Hoses deteriorate from the inside wall as well as the outside.
- Moisture is absorbed into brake fluid systems through Rubber Brake Hoses.
- Contaminants in brake fluid act abrasively on the inner wall of Rubber Brake Hoses.
- The Rubber Brake Hose reinforcing fabric deteriorates through expansion and moisture.
- High operating temperatures in brake systems contribute to the deterioration of Rubber Brake Hoses.
- Rubber Brake Hoses swell with age and restrict flow.
