Continental Direct Clutch Hoses - Built to last longer!

Hoses may look simple but in fact they are one of the strongest parts of the braking system.

They have to contend with water, salt, road dirt and temperature changes. Hoses have to move and twist millions of times during their lifetime, as the steering and suspension system keeps the vehicles on the road and gives the driver a comfortable ride

Our hoses are designed, constructed and tested to withstand all of these extremes of weather and today's driving conditions. All hoses have to conform to SAEJ1401 International Standard. Our brake hoses significantly exceed this standard.

At first sight, a brake hose appears to be a simple rubber tube. In reality it is a complex structure, engineered to withstand significant pressures well in excess of the vehicles maximum braking pressure.

Our hoses consist of a number of layers. First there is the inner tube layer - made from a rubber compound. This is covered with two layers of braid to give additional strength to the structure.

Then the hose is wrapped in a tough sheath of EPDM rubber to withstand the harshest of conditions. Brackets, armour and end fittings are added, according to application to complete the hose.

Like all braking components, hoses are a safety critical item, that is why when it comes to replacement, it is vital that it is up to the job.
