Vibrant -16 AN SS Braided Flex Hose (5 foot roll)

Vibrant Performance Braided Flex Hoses are available in Stainless Steel and Nylon braided covers which provide excellent abrasion resistance and surrounds a reinforced CPE synthetic rubber inner liner. Our Braided Flex Hoses are suitable for oil, water, fuel, coolant and vacuum service. Also suitable for E85 and methanol use but fumes will permeate through this type of hose when fuel is left stagnant for long periods of time. See our PTFE Flex Hose for extended E85 and methanol use. These hoses are NOT suitable for use as brake lines or other hydraulic pressure lines, nor are they suited for extended submersion in fuel or oil (not recommended for in-tank applications). Operating temperature range: -40 Degrees F to 300 Degrees F (-40 Degrees C to 150 Degrees C).

The Vibrant -16 AN Stainless Steel Braided Flex Hose is engineered for high-performance automotive fluid transfer needs. Featuring a durable stainless steel braid, this hose provides excellent abrasion resistance and protection against wear, making it ideal for demanding engine bays and under-vehicle environments. The reinforced CPE synthetic rubber inner liner ensures reliable flow of oil, water, fuel, coolant, and vacuum, supporting a wide range of automotive systems. Its construction also accommodates the use of ethanol blends such as E85 and methanol, although prolonged stagnation may lead to fumes permeating through the hose, so caution is advised for extended storage or idle periods. For extended E85 and methanol applications, consider using our PTFE Flex Hose designed for superior chemical resistance and minimal permeation.

This flexible hose is not suitable for use as a brake line or hydraulic pressure line, nor is it recommended for extended submersion in fuel or oil, such as in-tank applications. Operating temperature ranges from -40°F to 300°F (-40°C to 150°C), ensuring compatibility with most high-temperature automotive environments. Easy to cut and install, the 5-foot roll provides ample length for custom routing and installation, reducing the need for multiple connections. The robust stainless steel braid not only enhances durability but also maintains flexibility, making this hose a versatile choice for various performance upgrades and custom builds.
