Dear Mr. Rein:#This responds to your March 19, 1974, request fo confirmation that the clamps and check valve that attach a vacuum hose assembly to a brake booster are not subject to Standard No. 106, *Brake hoses*.#A brake hose end fitting is defined as 'a coupler, other than a clamp, designed for attachment to the end of a brake hose.' As described by you, the couplers are the clamps and the check valve is an engine component to which the hose has been attached by the clamp couplers.Therefore your interpretation is correct that the clamps and check valve are not subject to Standard No. 106.#Yours truly,Richard B. Dyson,Assistant Chief Counsel;
