Material: Premium Silicone Compound / Nomex® (Aramid) multi-ply
reinforcement, manufactured to SAE J20 standards.
Operating Temperatures: -65°F to 500°F (-54°C to 260°C)
Use: Turbochargers, superchargers, intercoolers, air intakes and other
engine components
Note: Not intended for any fuel, oil or oil
by-products.
LUCKEY SAYS: Hump couplers are similar to straight couplers, except
they are used for applications where there needs to be more flexibility to allow
engine components to move independently of each other while staying connected.
The wide hump section is supported on each
side of the hump by stainless rings which keep the hose as concentrical as
possible during engine torque and engine vibration as well as during high boost
conditions. One other benefit the
stainless rings provide is they keep the center hump from “ballooning” during
high boost above 40psi.
LUCKEY TIP 1 : These hump hoses (with rings) allow more movement than traditional
hump hoses with smaller, narrower humps. In a pinch, these hoses can be used in place of a straight hose if a
straight hose is not available.
LUCKEY TIP 2: It’s best to use only high quality clamps such as
our 100% stainless steel clamps. Worm clamps and sharp edged T-Bolt clamps
should not be used on silicone hoses. Silicone expands and contracts with
temperature changes, thus any sharp edged clamps will cut into the soft
silicone over a period of time, which will destroy the silicone material and
can be the cause of air leaks.
