FAQs

Are clamps included with the Pipercross silicone hoses?

No, fixings such as hose clamps are not included and must be purchased separately.

Can I use these hoses for fuel lines?

No, these silicone hoses are not suitable for oil and fuel applications. They are designed for air intake and coolant systems only.

What is the maximum temperature these hoses can withstand?

The hoses are rated to withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to +180°C.

What does '4-Ply 5mm silicone' mean?

This refers to the construction of the hose, indicating it is made with four layers of silicone material, with a total wall thickness of 5mm, providing enhanced strength and durability.

How do I choose the correct size hose?

Measure the outer diameter of the pipe or spigot you will be connecting the hose to. Select a hose with a corresponding inner diameter. For example, if your pipe is 80mm in outer diameter, you would need an 80mm inner diameter hose.

Can I cut the leg length of the hose?

While the silicone is flexible, it is not recommended to cut the leg length as it may compromise the hose's integrity and sealing. Select a hose with appropriate leg lengths for your installation.

Troubleshooting

Hose is too loose on the spigot

Ensure you have selected the correct inner diameter. Use appropriately sized hose clamps to create a tight seal. If the diameter is significantly incorrect, a different sized hose may be required.

Hose appears to be leaking

Verify that hose clamps are securely tightened. Check for any obstructions or damage on the spigot or hose end. Ensure the hose is fully seated on the spigot.

Hose hardening or cracking over time

This may indicate exposure to incompatible fluids (oil/fuel) or excessive temperatures beyond the hose's rating. Ensure the hose is used only for its intended application (air/coolant) and within its temperature range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Determine Size: Accurately measure the inner diameter of the existing hose or the spigot you intend to connect to. Select the corresponding Pipercross silicone hose.
  2. Choose Bend: Select the appropriate bend angle (45° or 90°) and leg length needed for your application.
  3. Install Hose: Slide the silicone hose onto the connection spigot. Ensure a snug fit.
  4. Secure: Use appropriate hose clamps (sold separately) to secure the hose firmly to the spigot. Ensure clamps are tightened evenly to prevent leaks.
