If you're in the market for a tough, reliable hose that can handle the heat—literally—look no further than the HPS Performance 3/8" FKM lined silicone hose. I've had my hands on this hose, and let me tell you, it’s built to last. This isn’t just any ordinary silicone hose; it’s specially crafted to resist a whole slew of nasty stuff like acids, fuels, oils, and even some pretty harsh chemicals. The FKM lining really stands out here—it's a fluoroelastomer that can take the heat up to a whopping 350°F without breaking a sweat. Seriously, you won’t find many hoses that can boast that kind of durability.
What I really appreciate about this hose is its flexibility. The polyester reinforcement combined with the silicone rubber gives it a tensile strength that makes it easy to work with, whether you’re routing it through tight spaces or bending it around corners. And for those of you who are into specifics, the inside diameter is 3/8" (or 9.5mm if you prefer metric), with an outside diameter of 0.69" (17.5mm). It’s a solid choice for a variety of applications like fuel return, crankcase ventilation, or even turbo oil return. Just a heads up, though—this hose isn’t meant for continuous flow of alcohol fuel or for situations where it’s submerged in fuel, so keep that in mind.
In terms of specs, it comes in a sleek black color and measures 4 feet in length, making it versatile enough for most projects. The wall thickness is a sturdy 4mm, ensuring it can handle whatever you throw at it. If you’re like me and appreciate a hose that can stand up to the elements, this one’s worth considering. It’s not just about looks; it’s about performance, and this hose delivers.
So, if you’re looking for a hose that won’t let you down, the HPS Performance 3/8" FKM lined silicone hose is definitely worth a look. It's tough, flexible, and ready to take on whatever challenges your project throws at it.
