Questions & Answers
This is primarily a vacuum/air line, but it should function as a coolant return as well. Silicone can withstand high temperatures, and the product description specifically mentions heating and cooling. I'd double-check the OEM specs for the line on your car to make sure it's the right size. To get a leak-proof seal, you might need to use special/small clamps. Both ends have an unrestricted connection.
Diameter on the inside. Three people fit in my Saab. This works fine with a 5mm hose with an ID of about 5/32nds of an inch in American terms.
It's of a high standard. 1/16 inch thickness estimate
Hello, I'm sorry, but I don't recall what I chose or what I instructed you to do. br>I seem to recall that each of the three listings featured the same image. A red one surrounded one of the other's Black was one of them. One was for blue hose, and the other was for black hose. br>The most common size is 4mm, which corresponds to 5/32", but my family also has a car that accepts 6mm and 8mm. Cheers

This house came in a variety of colors, and I repainted it. In my 1996 Ford Bronco, I plumbed all the vacuum lines using a 5. The hoses' durability has yet to be determined, but so far, I'm pleased with them. They're flexible enough to work with, but stiff enough to avoid kinking. I like that the tubing wall is thicker than I expected, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
This product accomplishes its purpose; the side walls appear to be thick enough to withstand vacuum collapse, and the color stands out enough to make the vacuum lines visible. I'm thinking of doing the same thing with the rest of my vacuum hoses. Silicone is wear, heat, and oil resistant, which I find appealing. The only drawback is that there isn't a lot of variety. If the tube won't fit easily or is in a difficult-to-reach location, don't try to pull it onto the hose connection with pliers. This method works with rubber, but silicone is prone to tearing.
These are exactly what they said they were, but read the description carefully because the picture shows three hoses when there are only one. They worked perfectly for replacing the vacuum hose on my Jeep.
This is an excellent vacuum hose. It has a supple feel to it. Cutting it is simple. It can create a strong vacuum. I also enjoy having the option of adding some color to the engine bay. All of the lines I've replaced are clearly visible.
The original plastic lines are beginning to show signs of wear and tear. When it comes to engine heat, silicon lines are thought to be superior to rubber lines. This package has a 10 foot (3 meter) length. The tube wall appears to be thick enough to resist vacuum collapse while remaining flexible. In the opinion of this layman, it deserves four stars.
In a 2003 VW Passat, it was used to assist in the repair of a secondary air failure. br>br>A route through a crowded engine compartment is very simple to use. Near the engine exhaust manifold, where temperatures can reach dangerously high levels, this hose should outlast the original. Installs and clamps just like the original rubber hose, but at a lower cost. Recommended for similar purposes. br>br>.
These were reasonably priced, but they were far too soft to maintain a strong vacuum. Squeeze them between your thumb and forefinger to flatten them out. They are acceptable if you do not require a powerful vacuum hose. If you want to get the most out of your investment, go for a thicker-walled model. a hose with a thick wall.
The old rubber lines weren't bad, but for the money, this is a good upgrade, and if you have vacuum leaks in your lines, this is a quick fix.
