Product Description
### Overview
PRL Motorsports 4 - Ply Silicone Couplers are top - notch hoses. Here are their key features:
- 4 - Ply Silicone with Polyester Reinforcement and 70 Durometer for great strength.
- Nominal 0.200” Wall Thickness (ranging from.170” to.220”).
- Can work in temperatures from - 65°F to 350°F (- 53.9°C to + 176.6°C).
- Resistant to electrochemical degradation, ensuring long - term durability.
- Standard silicone hoses aren't for pressurized oil or fuel, but we offer special Fluorocarbon and Fluorosilicone liners for better chemical resistance. Contact our engineering team for details.
- Meets or exceeds various industry standards like SAE J20 R1, SAE J20 R1 H.T. Class A, TMC RP303B Grade I and Grade II, Mil Spec A - A - 52426, and heavy - duty OEM specs.
- Excellent ozone and UV resistance for outdoor use.
- Aramid reinforcement is available for high - temperature applications up to 500°F. Check our website's '4 Ply Woven Aramid Reinforced' section or contact our engineers.
- Commonly used in air intake, supercharger, cold - side turbo, intercooler, radiator, and heater core connections, especially in high - temperature or extreme conditions.
- Widely used in aerospace, performance motors, marine wet - exhaust, commercial trucks, buses, agricultural and off - highway vehicles, turbo diesel applications, food and beverage connections, and general manufacturing around the world.
Using the 4 - Ply Silicone Elbow Coupler is easy. First, make sure the connection area is clean and free of debris. Then, simply fit the coupler onto the appropriate parts. It's designed for a snug fit, so you might need to apply a bit of pressure.
Keep in mind that the standard coupler isn't suitable for pressurized oil or fuel. If you need chemical resistance, reach out to our engineering department.
For maintenance, regularly check the coupler for any signs of wear, such as cracks or leaks. Since it has good ozone and UV resistance, it can handle outdoor use well, but it's still a good idea to avoid long - term direct sunlight if possible.
If you're using it in high - temperature applications, ensure that the right reinforcement (like aramid) is in place. If you have any questions or need further support, don't hesitate to contact us.
