HIGH QUALITY BRAKE HOSES.
Corteco emphasizes the importance of safety in their brake hoses, ensuring each product undergoes rigorous testing to meet high-quality standards.
- Dimensional Checks: Verification of data, crimping quality, and official registration.
- Traction Test: Conducted on the first piece of the production batch, this is a destructive test.
- Whip Test: Performed on semi-finished hoses, also destructive.
- Volumetric Expansion Test: Another destructive test on semi-finished hoses.
- Bursting Test: Destructive test on semi-finished hoses.
- Pressure Test: Applied to every finished component at 120 Bar, leaving a punching mark on the joint.
- High Quality: Corteco brake hoses are not just rubber hoses; they are designed for maximum safety and efficiency.
- Internal Structure: Composed of EPDM and textile braids for durability and performance.
- Balloon Effect: A phenomenon where a hose loses its non-deformability, affecting pressure transfer.
Brake hoses and fluid should be replaced every 4 years or 80,000 km to maintain braking system efficiency and performance.
- Products comply with SAE J1401 standards.
- Range includes 2,019 brake hoses, 4,520 OE correspondences, and 44,168 applications, covering 92% of the European car park.
- Shorter braking distances and increased safety.
- 100% tested products ensure reliability and performance.

THE “BALLOON EFFECT” - WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The “ballon effect” occurs when a brake hose lacks its non-deformability losing its capacity to transfer pressure from the pedal to the whole braking system. WORN BRAKE HOSE LONGER BRAKING DISTANCE REDUCED DISTANCE FROM OBSTACLE - SHORTER BRAKING DISTANCE - MAX DISTANCE FROM OBSTACLE ► 2.019 brake hoses in range ► 92% european car park coverage It's fundamental to replace both the brake hoses and the brake fluid every 4 years or 80.000 km in order to completely renew the vehicle's braking system efficiency restoring the original performance.
