Automotive Silicone Hose: Heater, Coolant, Radiator, Turbo - AUS
Silicone rubber will remain flexible and ageless after prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures, weather, or ozone - it will stay soft and pliable after years of use as compared to traditional rubber which will harden and crack. Silicone rubber is not for use with oil, however it will stand up to engine oil "mist" found in normal operating conditions. When installing silicone hose, N62ET extended liner gear clamps will prevent the soft cover from tearing during clamping/use. For larger sizes, use N68SL/ N75CT spring loaded T-bolt clamps to maintain holding power as the hose is subject to temperature fluctuations. Always check clamps at intervals and ensure proper clamp torque ratings are followed.
