Turbocharger Silicone Hose CAC-250-COLD by HPS 2.5in Reinforced

Description

Product Overview

The HPS CAC-250-COLD silicone turbocharger hose is a high‑temperature, four‑ply reinforced hose designed to meet and exceed SAEJ20 industry standards. Constructed from premium silicone, the hose offers exceptional resistance to heat, UV exposure, and ozone, ensuring long‑term durability in demanding environments. With an inside diameter of 2.5 inches, the hose provides ample flow capacity for turbocharged and supercharged applications, while its flexible yet robust construction allows it to accommodate slight misalignments between engine‑mounted charge‑air components. The product dimensions are 6 x 2.5 x 0.1 inches and it weighs 7.84 ounces, making it lightweight yet sturdy enough for both marine and industrial installations. The model number CAC-250-COLD reflects its cold‑weather performance capabilities, and the hose is manufactured by HPS Silicone Hoses, a reputable supplier known for precision‑engineered fluid transfer solutions.

Usage

This silicone hose is suited for a variety of real‑world applications. In marine environments, the hose resists salt‑water corrosion, UV degradation, and the constant vibration of boat engines, making it an excellent choice for custom turbo or intercooler piping on offshore vessels. In industrial settings, the hose can be employed in high‑temperature air‑handling systems, where its ability to isolate vibration reduces wear on adjacent components and minimizes noise. The hose is also ideal for performance automotive builds, providing a reliable connection between the turbocharger, intercooler, and charge‑air piping. Because the hose is not compatible with fuel or oil, it is best used in pure air or pressurized air circuits, such as charge‑air, ventilation, or pneumatic systems. Its flexibility allows installers to route the hose through tight spaces, while the reinforced construction prevents bulging or collapse under pressure.
