Automotive Replacement Brake Fittings

Match fittings to your vehicle’s make, model, year and brake line type (steel or braided). Check OEM part numbers or specifications like thread size, flare type (inverted/AN or double/ISO), and hose end style; if unsure, compare the old fitting or consult the vehicle service manual

Common types include flare fittings (single/double), banjo fittings, and threaded hose ends; each type seals and connects differently and must match the mating component to prevent leaks and ensure correct brake pressure transmission

Reliable fittings are made from corrosion-resistant materials (stainless steel, brass) and meet industry standards for threads and flares; look for proper plating, clean threads, and consistent dimensions, and prefer fittings specified for hydraulic brake use

Basic installations require common tools: line wrenches, flare nut wrenches, a torque wrench, and possibly flare or tubing cutters; for safety, you should be comfortable bleeding brakes and achieving proper torque and leak-free connections, otherwise have a professional install them

Clean mating surfaces, use the correct flare/seal type, hand-start then torque fittings to manufacturer specs, inspect for visible leaks, and properly bleed the system to remove air; periodic visual checks for corrosion or fluid seepage help maintain long-term performance

Individual brake fittings typically range from low-cost options under $10 to more robust or specialty fittings in the $20–$100 range, with assemblies or kits costing more depending on material and included components

Mixing brands is acceptable if the fittings are compatible in thread, flare type, and material; avoid combining dissimilar metals without proper corrosion protection and ensure all parts meet the same pressure and safety standards
