Flexible Rubber Brake Hoses
Kodiak brake hoses are made of rubber, making them a practical choice for a variety of applications. Because you can easily bend them, rubber hoses are simpler to work with than rigid stainless steel brake lines. This flexibility makes rubber hoses great for use with foldaway trailer tongues because they are less likely to kink or break when bent. In addition, rubber hoses allow for a wide range of motion so articulating parts can effectively function. These qualities make rubber hoses better suited than steel lines for trailers with torsion axle suspension systems and trailers that have disc brakes.
Stainless steel brake lines have braided exteriors, which can not only wear against exterior surfaces, but also against the interior lining of the hose if dirt gets underneath the steel braid. And if the braid on a stainless steel line tears, it can cut into the hose lining. The exterior surface of these hoses is solid rubber, so there are no crevices for debris to enter.
Durable Fittings with Deep Threads
Kodiak brake hoses have corrosion-resistant brass fittings with stainless steel flares. These fittings have a gap built into them that allows room for a line wrench - also called a flare nut wrench - to slide over the line and down to the nut. This type of wrench grips the nut better than a standard open-ended wrench so there is less chance of stripping the threads as you tighten down the nut.
The stainless steel that is used to create the flares on these hoses is stronger than brass. As a result, these fittings are more durable than ones made entirely of brass. The stainless flares are primarily designed to keep the fittings from splitting when you tighten them down, but they offer absolute rust protection as well.
Kodiak's fittings have deeper threads than many other fittings on the market to provide a higher thread engagement. Deeper threads offer an advantage when used with fittings that have the same thread depth. These Kodiak fittings will work with most fittings on the market, but when they're used with other Kodiak fittings, the result is a stronger connection with fewer leaks.

Replaced the steel brake lines on my boat trailer with the Kodiak hydraulic hose kit. The materials arrived quickly with all the necessary parts you need to install it. Install was very easy and only took 1/2 day to remove the existing lines, install the new lines and bleed the system. Been using the trailer regularly and it is flawless. I recently removed the existing drum brakes and installed a Kodiak disc brake set up which was just as easy and also performs excellent. Great product at a better price!

Everything was just as described, Lauren was outstanding ensuring i received exactly what I needed. All parts fit perfectly, the online instructional videos where spot on…will not hesitate for future purchases..!!

Oh man, all around not good. I am glad to see that our customer service team has shipped the replacements you need!
by: Arthur S.09/22/2015
The new Kodiak brake line kit was extremely easy to install. No instructions needed....now that's what I call a mans job! Ordering was easy, shipment was right on time. This my second purchase from etrailer.com and I will certainly make future purchases as needed and recommendations to friends and family. Here is a picture of my trailer after the install.
by: Dan C.01/29/2020
This brake line kit (20TA-BLKIT) was easy to install and after 1 year on my tandem axle boat trailer, used in salt water, still looks brand new. No rust, corrosion or leaks and functions as it should. Much better than the steel lines I replaced. I would recommend this brake line kit.

Still working after a year.
by: Stew08/25/2022
My concern is not with the quality of the brake line kit but in it's engineering. I understand the push for ease of installation, but I do not agree with it's outcome with these brake lines. Having so much rubber brake line under a trailer leads to 1) huge potential for damage from road debris, especially with extra lines simply coiled up 2) massive loss of brake pedal feel from the enormous amount of rubber which expands under to the very high PSI of a disc brake system. Seeing this I decided to retrofit automotive soft lines for each wheel and bent/flared hard lines for the rest of the trailer. 4' of soft line vs 50'

So far so good with no problems
by: Brian Grad10/14/2016
The kit install went smoothly because everything fit the way it should. The instructions were accurate and the torque values included helped make it tight.
Much better braking experience than just electric brakes. I took my time replacing all the wheel/hub assemblies but the effort paid off. I highly recommend the Kodiak kit.

Ive put about 9,000 miles on the 5th wheel since converting to the hydraulic disc brakes and Im so much more confident in the handling and performance of the brakes and suspension. It was not the easiest job to do but I took my time and did it right so I know I set everything up correctly. Now I have real stopping power, no fade. Good products, durable and built to last. Thanks, Brian

Perfect size for my dual axle trailer for my 24’ boat. Installation was not complicated. Nice product.
by: Scott M.02/02/2017
The products were ordered on Sunday night late, delivered by Wednesday. Converting drum surge brakes to disc, electric over hydraulic on a boat trailer for 26ft Sea Ray boat. I had everything including Titan brake actuator, 4 kodiac rotor and caliper conversion kits with bearings, and new lines installed by Thursday evening. Installation was straight forward, everything fit perfectly. One of the calipers was malfunctioning (not releasing). I called customer service and I had a new one within two days, it's now installed and working great!! Great product! Awesome service!!
Lines all fit great!! Seem to be very high quality!!
by: Leigh 05/08/2021
Installation was easy, one year after putting on the brakes on I have had zero issues. Money well spent and I would recommend etrailer and kodiak brakes to anyone who wants to switch from drum brakes to hydraulic brakes
by: Glenn 08/21/2022
Fit wonderful. Good quality
Made installation easy
by: Rick C09/21/2016
It's always great doing business with etrailer. All the best products and great service too. The Kodiak brake line kit is better than what came on the trailer from the original manufacturer.
by: Tim 03/31/2017
Well worth the price, have had these for 1 year. No signs of rust or deterioration. My old brake lines rusted away in 2.5 years. Trailer only goes in salt water. Highly recommend these brake lines. Very easy to install
by: Rob T.01/27/2017
Stripping down a 16 year old 21 ft. salt water use trailer - from end to end. The folks @ etrailer were very knowledgeable, and helpful in my decision making. From placing the order, to tracking the order, to the way the items were packed for transit. Other distributors could learn from these people; in regards to customer service, following up, both office and warehouse. Unloaded the products last night, nothing short, all quality in regards to their products, with great pricing. The installation videos are a big bonus, and something I'll be taking advantage of, during the restoration. Will follow up with picture, (before and after) when I'm done
by: Boater Jim07/01/2016
I purchased this as I had an older trailer and adding brakes to the second axle. This was a super easy set up over using steel! Zero frustration laying it out and easy to install. Great system
by: Matt06/04/2018
Good product and easy to install. Mounting clamps/c-clips were missing upon delivery. Etrailer made it right and sent out replacement clips. Installation was a breeze.
by: Brett S04/01/2019
Purchased new brakes and brake lines for my boat trailer. I made an error in my order and Katie was very responsive on making it right. Quick delivery and no border challenges on way to Canada. I will definitely make trailer my first stop in the future.
by: Sid 06/10/2021
I have been on 600 and 3,000 mi trips in the last year with the new brake setup. It works great. Much better than old electric drums. So far so good.

This disc brake kit is absolutely the best upgrade I’ve ever made to my 40’ LQ horse trailer. Should be a standard on large trailers!!

Fast, simple way to replace brake lines on a trailer. Easier than steel lines!
by: Rommy P07/26/2019
I put these Kodiak brakes on a year ago. They have preformed fawlessly for me. They have indeed saved my brakes on my truck and prevented a couple accidents do to sudden braking. A must have.

Just finished putting the item on the trailer then had to order a new wheel cylinder thanks. E trailer for good quality products
by: CanvasBoatCovers06/17/2016
So far, good. I installed this on my trailer yesterday, and it works well. Hoses are all of adequate length, and the machined parts are made with excellent precision. Nothing had to be altered to fit together.
by: Rick H09/22/2016
Hi, just thought I'd let you know how happy I am with my order. The quality is excellent, and the packaging was far better than anything else I've ordered online. In fact I liked it so much I ordered another product from you today. Thanks so much. Rick

- Tandem Axle Hydraulic Brake Line Kit For A Trailer Measuring 17.75 Feet From Axle To Surge Actuator The Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # 18TA-BLKIT will work great for you, however I'd personally prefer to have some excess length just incase, so the Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # 20TA-BLKIT is what I'd go with. Both of these kits have a 1/8" inner hose diameter, have a 3/16" fitting size, and has a 3/8"-24 thread size.
view full answer... - Recommended Brake Line and Hose Routing Method for TrailersThe majority of brake line installations we do in our shop match the first method you have in the photo, labeled "Branch". We also prefer to use rubber hoses as they are easier to work with and there won't be an issue if you end up with extra. In regards to hard lines, you'll typically cut and re-flare these to the exact length you need as there isn't a great way to store excess line. I am not aware of any standards for sizing length but again, if you go with rubber you don't have to worry...

- Will Kodiak Hydraulic Tandem Brake Line Kit Work With Trail-Rite 21 Ft Boat TrailerThe Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit, part # 20TA-BLKIT would be a great fit for your Trail-rite trailer. From my research I found your trailer is 21 ft 8 inches long and has tandem axles. The 20TA-BLKIT is 20 ft long and has all of the hydraulic lines and fittings needed to run your lines from the actuator to the brakes.
view full answer... - Finish Used on 1/2 Loom Clamps Included in # 20TA-BLKIT Hydraulic Brake Line KitThe loom clamps that are included with the # 20TA-BLKIT hydraulic brake line kit are zinc plated steel, not stainless. The zinc plating isn't as corrosion resistant as stainless would be, but it'll still offer some protection.
view full answer... - Flexible Brake Line Kit Recommendation for a Shorelandr Tandem Axle Trailer with Disc BrakesThe Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # 20TA-BLKIT is a great option for your application as it's designed for a tandem axle trailer and has a 20' main line. This kit uses these standard fittings which will match up to your A60 UFP actuator just fine: Fitting size: 3/16" Thread size: 3/8"-24
view full answer... - Correct Length of Kodiak Tandem Axle Brake Line KitThe Kodiak # 20TA-BLKIT 20 foot brake line kit will work if the distance from the rear of the coupler to the front trailer axle is roughly 18 to 19 feet, as you'll need some slack for the swing-away coupler to move freely. having a little extra length won't hurt, but you don't want to come up short because you can't easily make a splice like you can with steel brake lines. So in a nutshell, the advertised length of the kit you need will be the length of the longest line in the kit, and...

view full answer... - Fit of Kodiak 20TA-BLKIT Brake Line Kit with Hydraulic Drum Brake AssembliesThe # 20TA-BLKIT brake line kit you referenced is indeed compatible with the # AKUBRK-35-D Hydraulic Brake assemblies you'd looked at, the line kit is compatible with bolt disc and drum brake systems. The brake assemblies will be compatible with your existing axles, assuming the brake mounting flanges have the 2-7/8 inch center to center bolt hole spacing. I've linked to videos featuring the line kit and the brake assemblies you'd looked at.

- Should a Boat Trailer Have Hydraulic Brakes on Both the Front and Rear AxleIt is recommended to have brakes on both axles, but it isn't unheard of to just have brakes on one axle. What this means though is that you won't get as much stopping power and those brakes are going to wear down a lot quicker than they would if you had brakes on both axles basically because they will be working twice as hard. I am adding links to both our selection of trailer brakes and brake accessories (like brake lines) for you to filter through, but if you can give me some more info...
view full answer... - Brake Line Kit Recommendation for Dexter Brake Assemblies 23-398 and 23-399Trailer brakes use the same thread size whether they are disc or drum. The Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # 20TA-BLKIT that you referenced would work well with the Dexter drums # 23-398 and # 23-399.
view full answer... - Brake Line Kit for Tandem Axle Trailer with Hydraulic Drum BrakesYou can click on the linked page to see all of our complete tandem axle brake line kits. You can select one for your trailer based on its length; we have kits for trailers from 15 to 30-feet. Some kits like # DM5429 use mostly steel lines but we also have kits that use all flexible lines such as # 20TA-BLKIT which can be a lot easier to install.
view full answer... - What Are Brake Lines Made of in Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line KitAll of the brake hoses, including the main brake line, are made of rubber on the 20 foot Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Tandem Axle # 20TA-BLKIT. The hoses on the # 20TA-BLKIT also have brass fittings with stainless steel flares.
view full answer... - Recommended Brake Line Kit for Use With Titan Model 60 Brake Actuating CouplerThe brake line kit that would be best for you will depend the number of brake assemblies, the length of the trailer and whether the brakes are drum or disc. If you have a single axle trailer using drum or disc brakes, and the distance between the actuator and the rear axle is less than 18 feet, the Kodiak # 18SI-BLKIT would work great. The flex hose is easy to work with, and you'll have no worries about a kinked brake line. For a tandem axle trailer with an actuator to rearmost axle distance...
view full answer... - Brake Line Kit to be Used with Kodiak Disc Brake Kit K2R35SThe Kodiak disc brake kit part # K2R35S is designed for one axle. So it fits the left and right of a single axle. If you had a tandem axle you would need to buy two sets of this. I like flexible brake line as it's easier to work with. So for a single axle trailer you would want the part # 18SI-BLKIT. If you have a tandem axle trailer you instead would want the part # 20TA-BLKIT.
view full answer... - Hydraulic Brake Line for Hydraulic Drum Brake Assembly # AKUBRK-35-DThe Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Dacromet - 10" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K # AKUBRK-35-D will fit the traditional 3/16 inch brake lines like # 18SI-BLKIT or # 20TA-BLKIT which have the thread size of 3/8"-24. You shouldn't need an adapter fitting unless you have the larger 1/4 inch brake lines. In that case the Replacement Adapter Fitting for Titan Hydraulic Brake Kits - 1/4" to 3/16" # T4871700 would be used.

- Disc Brake Assemblies, Surge Brake & Brake Lines For 1989 Spartan Boat Trailer Tandem 3,500LB AxlesFirst you will need to pull one of your hubs to verify the spindle size you have on your 1989 Spartan boat trailer. It likely has 3,500lb axles based on the weight of your 1993 BayLiner 2609 Rendezvous. To verify you will need a Digital Caliper # PTW80157 to measure the spindle(see image below).

- How to Bleed Brake Lines with Titan Model 60 Hydraulic Brake Actuator Without Electric LockoutThe Dexter Brake Actuator part # 099-175-20 replaced the Titan 60 that has a master cylinder with a fitting at the end. The fitting is a 3/16 inverted flare where the brake lines connect to. You do not need an extra fitting when you use the actuator. If you ever need to replace the fitting, it is part # T4750300.

- Electric Over Hydraulic Disc Brake Actuator for Camping Trailer and Chevy Factory Brake ControllerThe Tuson ActuLink Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # 335ACT-1600 is not compatible with the Factory GM brake controller in your 2014 Chevy Silverado. My recommendation for you is to instead use an aftermarket brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180 which will take priority over your factory controller and will work well. Another option is to use the HydraStar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # HS381-8067 which...
