Overview
PRL Motorsports 4 - Ply Silicone Couplers are a top - notch choice. Here are the key features:
- 4 - Ply Silicone with Polyester Reinforcement, 70 Durometer for great strength.
- Nominal 0.200” Wall Thickness (ranging from.170” to.220”), ensuring durability.
- Works well in temperatures from - 65°F to 350°F (- 53.9°C to +176.6°C).
- Resistant to electrochemical degradation, increasing its lifespan.
- 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 and surpasses many industry standards like SAE J20 R1, SAE J20 R1 H.T. Class A, etc.
- Has excellent ozone and UV resistance, ideal for various environments.
- Aramid reinforcement is available for high - temperature needs 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, or heater core connections, especially in high - temp or extreme conditions.
- Widely used in aerospace, performance motors, marine, commercial trucks, agricultural vehicles, and more across the globe.
Using this 4 - Ply Silicone Straight Coupler is easy. First, make sure the surfaces where you'll connect the coupler are clean and dry. This will ensure a tight and secure fit. When installing, gently slide the coupler onto the pipes or components it's meant to join. You can use appropriate clamps to hold it in place. Now, for the important stuff. This coupler is not suitable for use with pressurized oil or fuel in its standard form. If you need it for such applications, reach out to our engineering department for special liners. In terms of temperature, it can handle a wide range, but avoid exposing it to temperatures outside the recommended - 65°F to 350°F range for long periods. To maintain this coupler, regularly check for any signs of wear, like cracks or degradation. Keep it away from sharp objects that could damage the silicone. If it gets dirty, you can clean it with a mild soap and water solution. Just dry it thoroughly before using it again. And if you need it for very high - temperature applications (up to 500°F), consider the aramid - reinforced option. You can find more details on our website or by contacting our engineering team.
