If you’re diving into some serious automotive work or just tinkering on the weekends, you’ll want to check out this HPS 1/8" High Temp Red Silicone vacuum tubing. I’ve used this stuff in a few projects, and I can tell you that it’s not just your average hose. It’s built from premium-grade silicone, which means it can handle some serious heat—like, up to 350°F. That’s a big deal when you’re working with turbo systems or cooling setups where things can get pretty toasty.
This hose has a heavy wall design that gives it the strength to withstand extreme pressure. I’ve put it through its paces in both vacuum advance systems and emission control setups, and it’s held up like a champ. Plus, it’s ultra-flexible, which makes routing it through tight spaces a lot easier. You know how it is when you’re trying to fit things into a cramped engine bay—having a hose that bends without crimping is a lifesaver.
Now, let’s talk specifics. The inside diameter is 1/8" (or about 3mm), and the outside diameter is 1/4" (6mm), so it’s perfect for those smaller connections. It comes in a 10-foot length, which gives you plenty of room for whatever project you’re tackling. Just keep in mind that while it’s tough and resistant to UV and ozone, it’s not compatible with fuel or oil, so save it for your cooling and vacuum needs.
Here’s a quick rundown of what makes this hose a solid choice:
In short, if you want a reliable, high-temp silicone hose that can take the heat and keep your systems running smoothly, this HPS tubing is worth considering. It’s been a solid performer for me, and I think you’ll find it just as useful in your projects.
