If you’re diving into some serious automotive or marine projects, you’ve got to check out this HPS 5/16" (8mm) black high-temp reinforced silicone heater hose. I’ve used it on a few custom builds, and let me tell you, it’s a game changer. This stuff isn’t just your typical hose; it’s built to take some serious heat and pressure. We’re talking about a max temperature rating of 350°F and a working pressure of up to 85 psi. That’s no joke!
One of the things I love about this hose is its heavy-wall design. It’s ultra-flexible, which makes it a breeze to work with, and the tensile strength is impressive. Whether you’re fabricating custom turbo or intercooler piping, or just need something reliable for your radiator cooling system, this hose has got your back. Plus, it meets and exceeds the SAEJ20 industry standards, so you know it’s up to the task.
Now, I’ve got to mention that while this silicone hose is fantastic for water and antifreeze, it’s not compatible with fuel or oil. So keep that in mind when you’re planning your setup. But for coolant systems, it really shines. I’ve seen it resist cracking, peeling, and even aging, which is a big deal if you’re working on something that needs to last.
In terms of specs, you’re looking at a 5/16" inside diameter and a 35/64" outside diameter, making it a solid choice for various applications. The wall thickness is about 3mm, and it’s shipped in a single continuous 25-foot roll, which saves you the hassle of dealing with multiple sections. The bend radius is 1-1/4", so it can navigate tight spaces without a hitch.
To sum it up, if you’re in the market for a reliable, high-performance silicone heater hose, this HPS option is worth considering. It’s tough, flexible, and ready to handle whatever you throw at it. Just remember, it’s not for oil or fuel, but for everything else, it’s a solid choice.
