Product Description
Overview: PRL Motorsports 4 - Ply Silicone Couplers are top - notch. They feature 4 - ply silicone with polyester reinforcement and a 70 Durometer rating. The nominal wall thickness is 0.200” (ranging from.170” to.220”). These couplers work well in temperatures from - 65°F to 350°F (- 53.9°C to + 176.6°C). They resist electrochemical degradation and have excellent ozone and UV resistance. They meet or exceed multiple industry standards. However, standard silicone hoses aren't for pressurized oil or fuel. We offer special Fluorocarbon and Fluorosilicone liners for better chemical resistance. Contact our engineering department for details. For high - temperature applications up to 500°F, aramid reinforcement is available. These couplers are commonly used in air intake, supercharger, turbo, and intercooler connections, as well as in many other high - temperature or extreme - condition applications. They're used globally in aerospace, performance vehicles, marine, commercial, agricultural, and food industries.
Using this 4 - ply silicone reducer coupler is easy. First, make sure to select the right size (3.50 - 2.50) for your application. Fit it securely to the relevant parts. When it comes to the temperature, don't use it outside the recommended range of - 65°F to 350°F. Also, remember that the standard coupler isn't suitable for pressurized oil or fuel. If you need chemical resistance, reach out to our engineering team. For high - temperature applications above 350°F up to 500°F, consider the aramid - reinforced option. To maintain it, keep it away from sharp objects and extreme weather conditions. Regularly check for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues, replace it promptly to ensure optimal performance.
