Well actually-since the fluid flow will be increased from the smaller diameter------------the pressure will be reduced----------or is that just in airflow????

Please educate, but please don’t sling mud. Let your words of wisdom lead, not names.
BUT, Please show us the correct way.
I agree bad info is bad info. Instead of chastising, please show us your info is correct.
Please, I want to learn, teach me…
Line size is determined by the volume of fluid to move the actuator it operates . Pressure is set by the pump . Brakes are either power assist or manual. With manual the brake pedal ratio gives you the assist . bore size controls fluid volume and pedal travel .
I don't think we have that time or manpower to dig up every thread made in the last 20 years and correct any advice that is wrong.
i saw nothing wrong with it . certainly not anything dangerous . drum brakes always use 1/4 in lines .
JMHO, Jack showed impressive math to back up his statements, I would like "Smockdoiley" to show his formulas/data to back up his claims. No disrespect intended, and not arguing either, just want to learn
My analogy of the garden hose/fire hose theory is it speaks of volume supply only. Once the hose size is increased the pressure will drop IF the supply volume can not keep up with the demand.
In a closed hydraulic/brake system (not open ended as the garden hose), in theory the pressure should remain equal as long as the volume supply remains equal.
JMHO, if the smaller line does indeed increase pressure, it would only increase the pressure momentarily and only before the source of the restriction (smaller line size). Thus, in theory the pressure increase would be at the master cylinder and not at the caliper or hydraulic device, at least that's my understanding.
Of course, I'm no expert and welcome any education..
An extremely small moment, given the extremely small compression factor for hydraulic fluid.
I note Smockdoiley hasn't responded nor been onsite in over two months
Do you feel guilty 36 Sedan?
I wouldn't if I were you...
Well done.
:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
As Sgt. Joe Friday (Dragnet) would say, "just the facts". Lol..
Smockdoily was just parroting what he had been told. No original thoughts had existed, he simply didn't / doesn't know. Maybe he'll come back? With a … Oh Yeah?????? Well my boss says.. blah blah blah.
All good, I'll love the debate, if it comes.
