Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. How are silicone hoses and tubing measured?

 

A: Silicone hoses and tubing can be sold either as a single unit or by length. For items sold by length, take note of the unit of measurement, as some may be sold by the inch and others by the foot. The leg-lengths of elbow hoses are always measured from the center line radius.

 

2. Are there industry specifications for silicone hoses?

 

A: Yes, the industry standard for our silicone hoses is SAE J20 Class A. We regularly test our finished silicone tubes, flex hoses, and raw materials to ensure they comply with this standard. For any technical or specification-related questions, please feel free to contact us.

 

3. Are silicone hoses compatible with oil and fuel?

 

A: Our standard silicone hoses are not compatible with oil or fuel. However, we do provide special fluorocarbon and fluoro silicone liners that have superior chemical resistance. For more details and assistance in designing a chemical-resistant product tailored to your specific needs, please get in touch with us.

 

4. What is needed to create a custom silicone hose?

 

A: We prefer to receive CAD drawings or PDF files for all new designs from our Design and Engineering department. If you require assistance with drawing or design, do not hesitate to reach out to us.

 

5. What color options are available for silicone hoses?

 

A: Our standard silicone hoses and tubing come in blue, red, or black. Custom colors are also available on special order, and minimum order quantities may apply. For more details, please contact us.
