Brake lines and brake hoses (Mondeo 1)

To supply brake fluid from the master brake cylinder to each wheel brake, the vehicle is equipped with a pipeline system. The pipeline connections on the master brake cylinder and on the branch pipes are made in the form of conical couplings. The ends of the pipes are flared and have a conical support surface that mates with a conical base made in the threaded holes of the master brake cylinder and branch pipes.

Before flaring, a pipe nut is put on the brake pipe, which when screwed presses the conical surface of the pipes to the conical base of the threaded hole and thus ensures reliable tightness of the connection. Brake hoses are installed between the fixed and moving parts of the car and form a flexible connection.
