Definition of Silicone Hoses

Silicone hose is made primarily of high-purity silicone rubber, often reinforced with polyester or aramid materials to increase its strength and durability. It can withstand higher pressure and temperature compared to normal hoses and it is usually used in the intake duct of a turbocharged engine, heater, inlet, and outlet in coolant, and radiator systems.

FAQs

If you have any questions involved, below maybe can solve your questions.
Q: Is silicone hose OK for coolant?

A:  Due to silicone rubber’s compatibility with chemicals, it’s a best choice for silicone hose manufacturers for automotive coolant systems. Long time resistance, good aging and cracking.

Q: Where does coolant hose failure most often occur?

A: Banana oil and solvent naphtha are one cause of failure on silicone rubber of coolant hoses.

Q: Which is better, EPDM or silicone coolant hose?

A: Silicone rubber is a durable material that is resistant to wear and tear and  it’s a top choice for automotive engines and coolant systems, which are resistant to oil, and fuel. EPDM hoses, while still durable, are used in traditional hoses.

Q: What is the best material for a coolant hose?

A: Of course, it’s silicone rubber. Silicone hose is an ideal and top choice for application in radiator and water coolant systems. 

Q: Do silicone coolant hoses need special clamps?

A: Due to the clamp’s bad temperature fluxions, after a long time, the coolant hose open mouth place will be broken causing cracks, shearing, and even leaks.

Q: How do you cut a silicone coolant hose?

A:  Use a knife, the ruler can make it.

Q: What hose does coolant run through?

A: The upper radiator hose connects to the thermostat housing and the radiator. From the bottom of the radiator, is the lower radiator hose, which leads to the water pump. Driven by the vehicle's water pump, the engine coolant loses heat after passing through the radiator.

Q: Is it difficult to replace a coolant hose?

A: It's easy work for professional and skilled people to replace a radiator hose. The difficult job is bleeding the cooling system afterward, other jobs are extremely easy.

Q: Can you replace a coolant hose yourself?

A: Yes, of course. But before replacement, please learn the steps by video or paper instruction. It’s a simple job.
