Thursday, March 19, 2009
A new line of silicone hose products is designed for extreme temperature, high-vibration, and chemically challenging applications found in heavy-duty truck engines, buses and off-highway construction equipment.
The hoses are available in sizes and configurations suitable for use on turbo and charge air coolers, heater circuits, and coolant system connections at temperature from -65° to +500° F (-54° to +260° C). These aramid- and polyester-reinforced silicone hoses resist cracking, peeling, ozone and aging; resist extreme temperature conditions; compensate for misalignment, and offset vibration. The hoses are available in straight lengths of three feet, hot and cold hump sections, charge air cooler, cold and hot couplings, and hot and cold 45° and 90° elbows.
