Overview
PRL Motorsports' 4 - Ply Silicone Couplers are top - notch. Here are the key features:
- 4 - Ply Silicone with Polyester Reinforcement, 70 Durometer for great durability.
- Wall thickness is nominally 0.200” (ranging from.170” to.220”).
- It can work in temperatures from - 65°F to 350°F (- 53.9°C to +176.6°C), suitable for various environments.
- Resistant to electrochemical degradation, ensuring long - term performance.
- Standard silicone hoses aren't for pressurized oil or fuel. But we have special Fluorocarbon and Fluorosilicone liners for better chemical resistance. Contact our engineering department for details.
- Meets and exceeds many industry standards like SAE J20 R1, SAE J20 R1 H.T. Class A, etc., showing its high - quality.
- Has excellent ozone and UV resistance, protecting it from environmental damage.
- For high - temperature applications up to 500°F, aramid reinforcement is available. Check our website or contact our engineers for ultra - high - temperature products.
- Commonly used in air intake, supercharger, turbo, and intercooler connections, as well as in many high - temperature or extreme - condition applications.
- Widely used in aerospace, performance vehicles, marine, commercial trucks, and many other industries globally.
Using the 4 - Ply Silicone Straight Coupler is straightforward. First, make sure the connection area is clean and free of debris. Then, simply fit the coupler onto the appropriate pipes or components. When it comes to working temperatures, keep in mind that this coupler works best between - 65°F and 350°F. If you need to use it with pressurized oil or fuel, don't use the standard version; instead, reach out to our engineering department for a more suitable option. For maintenance, regularly check the coupler for any signs of wear, like cracks or degradation. It has good ozone and UV resistance, but if it's exposed to harsh environmental conditions, clean it gently with a mild detergent and water. If you're using it in high - temperature applications, ensure that it's the aramid - reinforced version for maximum performance.
