• 304 stainless steel braid: The durable stainless steel braid offers superior protection against abrasion, heat, and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the hose.
• Maximum operating pressure: Rated for up to 3000 PSI, this line is suitable for high-pressure fuel and fluid systems, ensuring safety and reliability under demanding conditions.
• Versatile fittings: Includes a 1/8" NPT female right-angle fitting, -3AN male fitting, and other adapters, facilitating easy installation and compatibility with various gauges and sensors.
• Fluid compatibility: Resistant to most automotive fluids, including fuel, oil, and coolant, making it suitable for multiple applications.
• Firewall pass-through grommet: Designed for secure and safe routing through firewall panels, reducing the risk of damage or leaks.

Construction & Design

This braided stainless steel line is meticulously crafted to ensure durability and performance. The PTFE inner liner provides a smooth, low-friction surface that reduces pressure drop and enhances flow consistency. The stainless steel braid not only protects the hose from external damage but also helps maintain its shape under high-pressure conditions. The fittings are precision-machined to ensure a tight, leak-free seal and are designed for easy installation with common tools.

The flexible yet sturdy construction allows for easy routing through tight spaces and around obstacles, making it ideal for custom gauge installations or remote sensor mounting. The high-quality materials and manufacturing processes used in this line ensure long-term reliability, even in the harshest engine bay environments.

Performance & Sound

While primarily designed for fluid transfer and gauge mounting, this line's construction ensures consistent performance and safety. Its high-pressure rating and resistance to fluid permeation help maintain accurate readings and prevent leaks. The stainless steel braid provides a reassuring tactile feel and appearance, reflecting its premium quality. This line does not produce any noise or vibration but offers peace of mind through its robust build and reliable operation.

Installation & Fitment

The AutoMeter Braided Stainless Steel Line is designed for straightforward installation. It uses standard -3AN and 1/8" NPT fittings, making it compatible with a wide range of automotive gauges and sensors. The included firewall pass-through grommet simplifies routing through firewall panels, ensuring a clean and professional installation. No special tools or modifications are typically required, and the line can be cut to length if necessary, provided proper fittings are used. Always ensure fittings are tightened securely to prevent leaks and verify proper routing to avoid abrasion or kinks.
