Key Features

  • Stainless Steel Braid Reinforcement: Wraps EPDM core to resist collapse under vacuum and boost burst strength to over 700 PSI for long-term reliability in heater circuits.
  • EPDM Rubber Compound: Ozone, chemical, and aging resistant material maintains flexibility and seals tightly over time without cracking.
  • High Temperature Endurance: Rated -40°F to 257°F for sustained exposure near exhaust manifolds and hot coolant lines.
  • SAE J20R3 Compliant: Meets industry standards for radiator and heater hose applications ensuring compatibility with OEM systems.
  • Bulk 50 Foot Length: Provides ample material for multiple repairs, custom routing, or fleet use with precise cutting to fit exact needs.

Product Notes

  • Pair with stainless steel worm gear clamps for secure, leak-free connections.
  • Ships coiled to minimize handling damage and store flat after uncoiling.

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Slide over factory barbs or fittings after heating ends slightly if needed for tight fit.
  • Compatible with all standard heater core nipples and bypass tees. no special hardware required.

Fabrication

Fabrication parts and materials provide the raw components needed to build, repair, and modify custom exhaust systems, turbocharger plumbing, intercooler piping, fuel system lines, oil routing, and engine bay heat management on performance and competition vehicles. Stainless steel tubing, titanium tubing, aluminum charge piping, mandrel bends, pie cuts, flanges, merge collectors, V-band clamps, O2 sensor bungs, AN fittings, PTFE hose kits, braided fuel and oil lines, heat shields, and welding supplies are the backbone of any serious custom fabrication project. Professional fabricators, race team mechanics, and advanced DIY builders who want full control over exhaust routing, charge pipe layout, or fuel system plumbing choose raw fabrication materials rather than pre-bent kits because custom fabrication allows fitment solutions that no universal kit can accommodate. Brands including Vibrant Performance, Ticon Industries, Stainless Bros, Radium Engineering, Fragola, and DEI provide th...
