Description
Product Overview
The HPS Silicone High Temperature 4-ply Reinforced 90° Elbow Reducer Coupler Hose is engineered for the most demanding automotive and industrial environments. Constructed from premium-grade silicone, the hose features a four‑ply reinforcement that delivers exceptional strength while maintaining flexibility. This design meets and exceeds SAE J20 industry standards, ensuring reliable performance under high pressure and temperature conditions up to 75 psi. The 90° elbow configuration provides a compact solution for tight spaces, allowing seamless integration into turbocharger, intercooler, and custom piping projects. With an inside diameter ranging from 1‑1/4″ to 1‑1/2″, the hose offers a versatile fit for a variety of connections, while the black exterior provides UV and ozone resistance for prolonged outdoor durability. The product’s 4″ leg length on each side ensures ample reach for routing without compromising structural integrity.
Designed for both marine and industrial applications, this hose excels in environments where heat, vibration, and exposure to the elements are common. Its silicone composition is inherently resistant to temperature fluctuations, making it an ideal choice for high‑performance intake and radiator cooling systems. While silicone is not compatible with fuel or oil, the hose’s internal diameter and reinforced construction guarantee a secure, leak‑free connection for air and coolant circuits. The product’s discontinued status is marked as “No,” confirming ongoing availability for replacement and new builds.
Usage
When installing the HPS 90° elbow reducer hose, consider the specific requirements of your system. For turbocharged engines, the hose can be used to route compressed air from the turbocharger to the intercooler, taking advantage of its high‑temperature tolerance and pressure rating. In marine applications, the hose’s UV and ozone resistance protects it from harsh sunlight and salty sea air, extending service life on boats and offshore equipment. Industrial users can employ the hose in custom cooling loops, where the ability to withstand elevated temperatures and maintain flexibility is critical for efficient heat exchange.
Installation is straightforward: cut the hose to the required length, ensuring clean, straight cuts to avoid stress concentrations. Use appropriate clamps rated for silicone hoses to secure connections, and verify that the clamp torque does not exceed the hose’s pressure rating. The 4‑ply reinforcement distributes load evenly, reducing the risk of kinking or deformation even under dynamic conditions. Regular inspection for wear, especially at the elbow bend, will help maintain optimal performance over the lifespan of the hose.
Because the hose is not fuel‑compatible, it should be used exclusively for air, coolant, or water circuits. This limitation ensures that the silicone material does not degrade, preserving its mechanical properties and heat resistance. For applications requiring fuel or oil compatibility, consider alternative materials such as PTFE or reinforced rubber hoses.
