We are very proud of our work, and you can be too by choosing TRW Brake Hoses.
It’s easy to forget the importance of a Brake Hose among the many parts that make up a braking system.
In simple terms, the Brake Hose is a safety critical item on all vehicles. Operating under extreme stress whenever the brakes are used, they need to be checked regularly, as any faults will lead to a loss of brake fluid. This will mean a drop in pressure, which can lead to catastrophic brake failure.
The only way to find out whether a Brake Hose is working properly or not is to carry out a visual inspection. If cracks or leaks are visible it could be an indication that the whole brake network is damaged, as most brake parts wear out at the same rate as each other. TRW recommends that Brake Hoses are changed every five years or 31,000 miles (50,000 km) to make sure that safety isn’t compromised at any point.
Manufactured to TRW’s OE specification, our Brake Hose programme was awarded first place in an industry benchmark test for Volumetric Expansion carried out by the Automotive Manufacturers Equipment Compliance Agency (AMECA). The test revealed the exceptionally low volumetric expansion rate of our products compared to competitors, offering drivers superior pedal feel and improved stopping times.
TRW Brake Hoses have been crafted with modern cars in mind, as exact concentric fitting holes make sure there is a free flow of brake fluid. This is especially important for vehicles with advanced Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) as it allows for optimal pressure dump.
TRW provides high-pressure Brake Hoses made from rubber, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), steel or a combination of rubber and steel. Using these materials allows us to provide a product that has high resistance to humidity, chemicals and fuels and ensure that all of our hoses are produced in line with the Equipment Compliance Notification by AMECA. This means that all Brake Hoses from TRW are produced to not just meet but exceed the stringent OE standards, as well as the international specifications SAE J1401 and FMVSS 106.
Fitted with 100% zinc coated end fittings, our Brake Hoses are protected against rust, and with four layer high-quality fabrics, the hoses that we supply have exceptional flexibility and resistance to atmosphere as well as chemicals in fuels and grease.
Occupying the best European vehicle parc coverage position, as well as 1,400+ references and extensive coverage of Japanese and Korean vehicles, we can help you serve almost any customer. The range of Brake Hoses from TRW covers a wide range of manufacturers, including Honda, Toyota, Kia, Mazda, Nissan and Hyundai.
The only way to ensure that our hoses perform on the road in high-pressure situations is to test them to the extreme. This is exactly what we do, over and over again. Our testing process features:
