Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for fuel lines?

No. This silicone hose is not fuel-resistant and will degrade quickly if exposed to petroleum products.

What is the wall thickness of this hose?

This hose features a 5mm wall thickness, providing excellent durability and resistance to pressure.

Are clamps included with the hose?

No, installation fixings such as clamps are not included and should be purchased separately.

Can this handle pressurized coolant?

Yes, it is designed to meet SAE 20R1 Class A standards, making it suitable for automotive coolant systems.

What does '4-ply' mean?

It refers to four layers of reinforcement fabric within the silicone, which significantly increases the hose's strength and pressure resistance.

Is the 102mm measurement the inner or outer diameter?

The 102mm measurement refers to the inner bore diameter.

Troubleshooting

Hose slipping off the pipe under pressure

Check that the clamp is tightened sufficiently and verify that there is no oil residue on the pipe or hose interior, as this acts as a lubricant.

Hose deforming or collapsing

Ensure the application is for intake or coolant; check that the hose is not being subjected to vacuum levels exceeding its structural rating.

Visible cracking or swelling

Verify that the hose is not in contact with oil or fuel; if contaminated, the hose must be replaced as the chemical reaction will compromise the silicone.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High thermal tolerance up to 180°C
  • Reinforced 4-ply design for structural integrity
  • Meets industry standard SAE 20R1 Class A
  • Durable silicone material resists heat aging
  • Ideal for custom air intake routing

Cons

  • Not suitable for oil or fuel transport
  • Installation clamps or fixings are not included
  • Limited to specific 45-degree angled applications
  • Large 102mm bore size requires specific spacing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your metal piping is clean and free of burrs that could damage the silicone interior. Use appropriate high-quality T-bolt clamps (not included) to ensure an airtight seal.

  • Compatibility: Only use for air or coolant applications. Do not use for fuel or oil lines as the silicone will degrade.
  • Installation: Use a small amount of silicone-safe lubricant if the fit is too tight over your pipes; avoid sharp tools when sliding the hose into place.
  • Care: Periodically check your clamps to ensure they remain tight, especially after the first few heat cycles of the engine. Clean with a damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents that might damage the outer silicone layer.
