PTFE Braided Hose

Our PTFE Stainless Steel Braided Hose offers superior strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance, making it the ideal choice for high-performance applications. Designed for fuel, oil, coolant, and hydraulic systems, these hoses provide a smooth, non-stick inner PTFE liner that ensures optimal fluid flow while preventing contamination and degradation over time.

Reinforced with stainless steel braiding, these hoses offer enhanced durability, pressure resistance, and protection against abrasion, making them perfect for automotive, motorsport, industrial, and aerospace applications. Whether you're upgrading your fuel system or need a reliable high-pressure hose, our PTFE hose delivers exceptional performance and longevity.

Compatible with leading AN fittings and hose end brands such as Aeroquip, Earls, Goodridge, and Speedflow, our stainless steel braided hoses are available in various sizes to meet your specific requirements. The PTFE inner core resists high temperatures and aggressive chemicals, ensuring reliability even in the most demanding environments.

For a high-performance, long-lasting hose solution, choose our PTFE stainless steel braided hose—trusted by professionals for its strength, flexibility, and superior resistance to fuel, oil, and hydraulic fluids.

What is PTFE braided hose?
An AN6 hose with a PTFE inner tube inside a stainless steel braid, available with a bare stainless finish or a black nylon cover. PTFE is chemically inert and essentially impermeable, which makes it the choice for aggressive fuels and for anywhere permeation through the hose wall is a problem.

When do I need PTFE rather than rubber-lined?
For E85, methanol and race fuels, for high-pressure fuel injection systems, and where fuel smell through the hose wall is unacceptable - PTFE does not permeate the way rubber does. It is also the better choice for long-term storage, since it does not degrade with age or ethanol content.

Bare stainless or black nylon covered?
Bare stainless braid gives maximum abrasion protection - but it is abrasive itself and will saw through anything it rests against. The black nylon cover protects surrounding components and is far kinder on your hands, at a slight cost in ultimate abrasion resistance. Most road builds prefer the covered version.

What fittings does it take?
Standard AN6 hose ends. PTFE hose needs fittings designed specifically for PTFE - the olive and collet arrangement differs from rubber-lined AN hose, and using the wrong ends is a common and expensive mistake. Check that your fittings are PTFE-specific before assembling.

How do I cut it?
Wrap the cut area tightly in tape, cut through the tape with a sharp cut-off wheel or proper hose shears, then remove the tape. That stops the braid fraying and unravelling. Take care not to crush or distort the PTFE liner as you cut - a deformed liner will not seal in the fitting.

Is it more rigid than rubber hose?
Yes, noticeably. PTFE has a larger minimum bend radius and does not flex as freely, so it needs to be routed with gentler sweeps and planned more carefully. Do not try to force it round a tight corner near a fitting - use an angled hose end instead.
