Dear Mr. Little:#This responds to your January 30, 1974, request fo inclusion in Standard 106, *Brake Hoses*, of J1402 type A and B hose and J844 (nylon type 3) hose.#Standard 106 has already been amended by addition of 3/8-in and 1/2-in special sizes to the list of hose sizes which may be used with reusable fittings, and this addition permits continues use of commonly utilized types of A and B hose.#The nylon 3 hose to which you refer is not excluded from use under the Standard. Several of its manufacturers have indicated that it does conform to the requirements of the standard, which have been modified to reflect the lower tensile strength valves needed when used at non-articulating points in the system.#Yours truly,Richard B. Dyson,Assistant Chief Counsel;
