What is the minimum height requirement for the brake hoses on the side of the trailer?

The minimum height requirement for the brake hoses on the side of the trailer is 18 inches off the ground. This specification is designed to ensure that the brake hoses are sufficiently elevated to minimize the risk of damage from road debris or contact with the ground, especially when navigating varied terrains. Ensuring that the hoses are at least 18 inches high helps maintain the integrity of the braking system, promoting safety and reliability in trailer operation. This height requirement is a standard across various regulations and helps to standardize safety practices in the trucking industry.
