Silicone Hoses
High-performance multi-ply fabric reinforced silicone hoses engineered for automotive turbochargers, intercoolers, commercial truck radiators, and marine engine cooling systems. Delivers extreme burst pressure containment and resistance to high-temperature oil vapors.
Types & Configurations of Silicone Hoses
Straight Coupler Silicone Hoses
Standard multi-ply silicone sleeves connecting intercooler piping and charge air coolers.
45° & 90° Molded Silicone Elbows
Mandrel-built curved elbow hoses designed for tight vehicle engine bay plumbing routing.
Concentric Transition Reducer Hoses
Hoses joining pipes of different diameters with smooth internal aerodynamic transitions.
Convoluted Expansion Hump Hoses
Flexible bellowed center hump absorbing high engine rocking vibration and thermal expansion.
Fluorosilicone Lined Turbo Hoses
Internal fluorosilicone liner resisting continuous hot oil mist and fuel hydrocarbon vapors.
