The availability of this somewhat unusual configuration of hose was the ultimate solution to the incorrect orientation of the radiator lower inlet pipe.
Used in conjunction with a 90 deg elbow pipe and aluminium joiner, this has replaced the twisted mess of flexible hose in an Austin 7.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
Can Silicone Hoses Be Used For Fuel/Oil?
Will Silicone Hose Stretch?
Silicone hoses are known for their flexibility and elasticity, which allows them to stretch to some extent. However, the degree to which a silicone hose can stretch depends on various factors, including its design, thickness, and the specific type of silicone used in its construction. We advise that our hoses can stretch a maximum of 3mm on the diameter.
Can Silicone Hoses Be Used For Coolant?
Yes, silicone hoses are commonly used for coolant applications. Silicone hoses are well-suited for coolant systems in various industries, including automotive, marine, and industrial applications.
How Long Do Silicone Hoses Last?
The lifespan of silicone hoses can vary depending on several factors, including the quality of the material, the specific formulation of the silicone, the environmental conditions, and the type of application. In general, silicone hoses are known for their durability and longevity, and they often outlast traditional rubber hoses in many applications.
What is the temperature rating of silicone hoses?
The temperature rating of silicone hoses is typically in the range of -60°C to +180°C (-76°F to 356°F). Silicone hoses are known for their ability to withstand a wide range of temperatures, making them suitable for various applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. It's important to note that specific products may have slightly different temperature ratings, so it's advisable to refer to the manufacturer's specifications for precise details on a particular silicone hose.
