If you're diving into some serious automotive work or just looking to upgrade your rig, the HPS 1/8" High Temp Clear Silicone Vacuum Tubing is a solid choice. I've used this stuff in various setups, and let me tell you, it’s a game changer. Whether you're tweaking your vacuum advance system, setting up a turbo, or handling coolant lines, this hose has got you covered.
What really stands out is the premium-grade silicone construction. It’s not just a fancy term; this material can handle some serious heat—up to 350°F (that’s about 177°C for those of us who prefer metric). And with a wall thickness of 1.5mm, it’s built to withstand high pressure without flinching. I’ve pushed it through the wringer in some tough conditions, and it has held up beautifully.
This tubing is ultra-flexible, which is a huge plus when you're trying to get it into tight spots. I’ve used it for everything from DIY intake systems to radiator cooling setups, and it bends and shapes just the way you need it without any hassle. Plus, it meets and exceeds the SAEJ20 industry standards, so you know it’s reliable for heavy-duty applications.
One thing to keep in mind is that while it's tough and resistant to UV and ozone, it doesn’t play nice with fuel or oil, so steer clear of using it in those applications. But for vacuum systems or coolant lines, this hose is a champ. With a clear design, you can easily monitor any flow issues, which is a nice little bonus.
In terms of specs, here’s the rundown: you’re looking at an inside diameter of 1/8" (or about 3mm), with an outside diameter of 1/4" (6mm). The length is generous at 100 feet, so you’ll have plenty to work with. It’s perfect for both marine and industrial applications, making it versatile for various projects.
So if you want a reliable, high-temperature silicone hose that won’t let you down, give this HPS tubing a shot. It’s been a solid addition to my toolkit, and I think you’ll find it just as useful.
