If you're diving into some serious automotive work or just tinkering in the garage, the HPS 2" (51mm) High Temp 4-ply Reinforced Silicone 180 Degree U Bend Elbow Coupler Hose is a solid choice. This isn't just any hose; it's built to handle the heat and pressure that come with high-performance setups. Whether you're crafting custom turbo piping or setting up an intercooler, this hose has got your back.
What I really appreciate is how well it meets those SAEJ20 industry standards. It’s designed for heavy-duty pressure connections, so you know it’s going to hold up under stress. The temperature range is impressive too, handling anything from a chilly -65°F to a scorching +350°F (that’s about 177°C for the metric folks). So, whether you’re cruising in the summer heat or battling winter chills, this hose won’t flinch.
Let’s talk specifics. The inside diameter is 2 inches (51mm), which fits snugly for most setups, and the outside diameter comes in at 2.41 inches (61mm). Each leg is a handy 4-1/2 inches long, giving you some flexibility in your installation. Plus, with a center line radius of 3 inches, it bends just right without crimping. The overall height is 9 inches, and the wall thickness is a sturdy 4.5mm (give or take a bit). You can really feel the quality with the 4-ply construction, which adds durability and resistance to wear and tear.
Another perk is its resistance to UV and ozone, which is crucial if you’re using this in a marine or industrial setting. Just keep in mind, while it’s great for water and coolant, it’s a no-go for fuel or oil. So, if you're planning to use it for those applications, you might want to look elsewhere.
In short, if you’re in the market for a reliable, high-temp silicone hose that’s built to last and perform, this HPS 180 Degree U Bend Elbow Coupler Hose is definitely worth considering. It's got the specs to back it up and the real-world performance to match.
