Description
Overview:
This flexible brake hose is a hydraulic line for use on site dumpers, providing a safe and reliable connection between the brake master cylinder, distribution blocks and wheel cylinders or callipers. Built for heavy-duty use on construction machines, it maintains stable brake fluid transfer while withstanding vibration and steering or suspension movement. The overall length is 510 mm (20 inches), which suits common routing positions on Thwaites dumpers such as MACH 220 and MACH 221. Supplied as Thwaites part number T11243, it is intended for direct replacement where this specification is called up. The hose's flexible construction helps prevent kinking and reduces stress on fittings, supporting consistent pedal feel and controlled stopping on rough ground and inclines typical of dumper operation.
Key Features:
- Length: 510 mm (20 inches) for correct reach and routing in common dumper layouts
- Designed for hydraulic brake fluid transfer with stable, responsive performance
- Flexible body to accommodate steering, articulation and suspension movement
- Robust construction suited to abrasive, dirty job-site conditions
- Factory-style end terminations for a secure, leak-resistant connection
- Supports consistent braking force and pedal feel under load
- Helps reduce vibration-induced stress on hard lines and fittings
- Direct replacement for Thwaites T11243 where specified
- Compatible with selected Thwaites MACH-series dumpers (see model list)
- Straightforward to fit with standard workshop tools; route to avoid chafe points
Typical Applications:
Used on site dumpers to connect flexible sections of the braking circuit where movement or articulation occurs, such as between chassis and axle or near steering knuckles. Suitable for day-to-day use in muck shifting, landscaping, utilities, hire fleets and construction sites where reliable braking performance is essential in stop-start work, tipping cycles and travel on uneven ground.
Also known as:
Brake hose, flexible brake line, hydraulic brake hose, flexi brake line, dumper brake line, brake flex hose, hydraulic flex line. These terms refer to the same type of flexible hydraulic connection used within the braking system to carry brake fluid between fixed pipes and moving components.
