brake hose
Fluid transfer tube
A brake hose is the flexible rubber tubing that carries hydraulic fluid from a vehicle's brake lines to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders.
Unlike the rigid metal brake lines mounted to the frame, brake hoses must flex to accommodate suspension movement and steering: The mechanic found a cracked brake hose leaking fluid.
