A High Temperature Reinforced Silicone Coupler is a flexible, durable connector used in high-performance applications where heat resistance, flexibility, and durability are essential. These silicone couplers are commonly used in automotive, industrial, and aerospace applications, especially in turbocharger systems, intake and exhaust systems, and coolant applications.
Key Features:
- High-Temperature Resistance – Can typically withstand temperatures ranging from -65°F to 500°F (-54°C to 260°C), with some specialized versions tolerating even higher temperatures.
- Reinforced Construction – Often reinforced with polyester, aramid, or fiberglass layers to improve strength and pressure resistance.
- High Durability – Resistant to oil, fuel, coolant, and other automotive/industrial fluids.
- Flexible & Resilient – Allows for slight movement and vibration absorption in high-performance systems.
- Multiple Shapes & Sizes – Available in straight, reducer, elbow (45° or 90°), hump hose, and T-shape configurations to accommodate various piping needs.
- Pressure & Vacuum Resistance – Withstands high boost pressures in turbo and supercharged applications.
Common Applications:
- Automotive Performance: Turbo and intercooler piping, intake and exhaust systems, radiator hoses.
- Industrial Machinery: HVAC systems, high-temperature ducting, and fluid transfer.
- Aerospace & Marine: High-heat fluid connections in demanding environments.
