If you're diving into the world of automotive upgrades or just need reliable tubing for your latest project, the HPS 3/8" High Temp Red Silicone Vacuum Hose is worth a look. I've used this stuff for everything from turbo setups to coolant systems, and it really holds up under pressure.
What’s great about this hose is its heavy wall design. It can take a beating, handling extreme pressure without breaking a sweat. You won't have to worry about it collapsing or leaking, which is a huge relief when you’re pushing your ride to its limits. Plus, it’s made from premium-grade silicone, so it’s not just tough—it’s also ultra-flexible. That means you can bend it around tight corners without worrying about kinks or restrictions.
This hose operates in a pretty wide temperature range, from -65°F to a scorching 350°F. So whether you’re working on a hot engine or a chilly coolant system, it’s got you covered. And if you're into DIY projects, this hose is perfect for custom turbo or intercooler piping, or even for setting up your own intake or radiator cooling system. Just keep in mind, it’s not compatible with fuel or oil, so save it for air and coolant applications.
Another thing I appreciate is the UV and ozone resistance. If you’re running your vehicle in the sun a lot, this hose won’t degrade as quickly as some others might. It’s built to last, which is something you want when you’re investing in parts for your ride.
Here’s a quick rundown of the specs: it has an inside diameter of 3/8" (or about 9.5mm) and an outside diameter of 0.61" (15.5mm). The wall thickness is a solid 3mm, giving it that extra durability. And it’s sold by the foot, so you can get exactly what you need for your project.
In short, if you need a tough, reliable hose that can handle the heat and pressure of your automotive adventures, the HPS 3/8" High Temp Red Silicone Vacuum Hose is a solid choice.
