Hope 90 Degree Connectors Kit 5mm Hose

Product Overview

The Hope 90 Degree Connectors Kit enables secure 90-degree banjo connections between Hope hydraulic brake hoses and calipers or levers. This kit includes all necessary fasteners and sealing components for both synthetic and braided steel (aviation) hoses. The 5mm diameter fittings are compatible with Hope brake systems and simplify hose routing through frame channels or around tight component clearances.

Key Features

• 90-degree banjo connection – Right-angle fitting orientation allows hose routing around frame obstacles and tight spaces; reduces sharp bends that compromise hose integrity
• Universal hose compatibility – Works with both synthetic material and braided steel (aviation) hoses; supports multiple Hope brake system configurations
• 5mm hose diameter – Standard Hope brake hose size; compatible with Tech3 X2 and other Hope systems using 5mm fittings
• Complete fastener package – Includes banjo connector, nut, olive, gaskets, and end piece; provides everything needed for secure, leak-free connections
• Precision-engineered fittings – High-quality banjo design ensures reliable pressure sealing and minimizes potential for hose leaks or system failure
• Easy installation – Standard banjo connection method; requires basic mechanical skill and proper torque application

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

• Compatible systems: Hope Tech3 X2 and other Hope brake systems using 5mm banjo fittings
• Hose types: Synthetic rubber and braided steel (aviation) hoses; not compatible with barbed or straight fittings
• Frame routing: Ideal for internal frame hose passage where 90-degree angles prevent sharp bends and hose kinking
• Installation requirement: Proper banjo nut torque critical for leak prevention; follow Hope torque specifications (typically 6-8 Nm)
• Best for: Hope brake system builders, riders customizing hose routing for internal frame passage, and systems requiring angled connections to avoid component interference
• Maintenance: Gaskets and olives wear consumables—inspect for damage during hose service; replace with genuine Hope components during hose replacement or bleeding
• System preparation: Use only Hope proprietary oil; other mineral oils will damage internal brake seals
• Installation care: Apply thin coat of Hope oil to olive and gasket before assembly; over-tightening banjo nut can damage fittings or seals
• Critical note: Hope proprietary oil seals are incompatible with other mineral oils—Shimano, SRAM, or generic mineral oils will destroy internal seals and void warranty; ensure brake system uses exclusively Hope oil before installing these connectors; verify connector size matches your hose diameter (5mm) before purchase
