Choosing the right silicone coupler means choosing the right product type. Categories include silicone elbows, silicone pressure reducers, straight hoses, hump hoses and coiled hoses.
Silicone elbows contain a molded elbow (bend) that provides great flexibility. Typically, the angle of the bend is 45° or 90°. Dimensions include wall thickness, inner diameter, inner diameter, and length of leg 1 and leg 2.
Silicone reducers or silicone reducers provide a transition between different pipes or pipe sizes. Therefore, one end of the silicone coupler is larger than the other. Dimensions include hose inner diameter, hose outer diameter and length
Straight silicone hoses come in a variety of lengths and can be cut to size by your crew (usually with a razor) or fabricated to order. Silicone hose supports the use of metal clips and may contain fabric reinforcement.
Hump hoses support slight intake adjustments and flex. They can also compensate for small deviations between metal pipes or pipes. Applications include air metering, throttle body assemblies, and inlets and outlets.
Packaging hose provides greater resistance to compression. They are wrapped in polyester mesh, fabric, or an extra layer of silicone.
