Straight Silicone Hose from QSP Products
A straight silicone hose is ideal for connecting two straight pipes, tubes or connections in an air, coolant or other technical system. At QSP Products you will find straight silicone hoses in a wide range of internal diameters and available in blue and black as standard. With many sizes available, there is a suitable straight silicone hose for almost every common pipe diameter.
QSP straight silicone hose is manufactured from high-quality silicone rubber with polyester reinforcement layers. This combines flexibility with good pressure resistance and dimensional stability. Straight silicone hoses are widely used in automotive and motorsport applications as well as industry, equipment and machine building, offshore and other technical sectors.
Straight silicone hose for air and coolant
A straight silicone hose can be used for a wide variety of applications. One of the most common uses is connecting aluminium pipes in cooling systems, air intakes, turbo installations and intercooler systems.
By combining straight silicone hose with aluminium tubes, bends, reducers and hose clamps, you can create a complete custom piping or hose system. This is particularly useful when standard pipework does not fit or an existing installation needs to be modified.
Straight silicone hose for cooling systems
Straight silicone hose is widely used as a connecting hose in coolant systems. It can be installed between aluminium coolant pipes and components such as the radiator, engine and expansion tank.
QSP silicone hoses have a temperature range from -50°C to +180°C, making them suitable for a wide variety of applications where significant temperature differences occur.
Straight silicone hose for turbo and intercooler systems
The polyester reinforcement layers help the silicone hose maintain its shape under pressure. For this reason, straight silicone hoses are frequently used as turbo and intercooler hoses for connecting aluminium charge pipes.
Maximum working pressure depends on the diameter, construction and number of reinforcement layers of the individual silicone hose. Always check the technical specifications of the selected hose when it will be used in a pressurised system.
Which size straight silicone hose do I need?
Silicone hose dimensions are specified according to the internal diameter of the hose. If you want to connect two aluminium pipes, measure the outside diameter of the pipe. The internal diameter of the straight silicone hose should correspond with this measurement.
QSP Products supplies straight silicone hose in a wide range of diameters. This makes it possible to select a suitable connecting hose for both small and large pipe diameters.
Cutting straight silicone hose to length
One advantage of a straight silicone hose is that it can be cut to the required length. This allows the length of the connection to be adapted precisely to your installation.
Make a clean and straight cut and leave sufficient hose length to ensure that the hose fits securely over the pipe or connection. Suitable hose clamps can then be used on both ends to secure the silicone hose.
Benefits of straight silicone hose
Silicone hose offers several advantages compared with conventional rubber hose. The material remains flexible across a wide temperature range and provides good resistance to ageing, ozone, weathering and continuous use. A high-quality silicone hose therefore provides a long service life.
Polyester reinforcement also provides additional dimensional stability and pressure resistance. This makes straight silicone hose suitable for both simple connections and more demanding air and coolant systems.
Straight silicone hose for automotive, industry and machine building
Although straight silicone hose is widely used in cars, race cars, commercial vehicles and other automotive applications, its use is not limited to vehicles. Straight silicone hoses are also used in equipment and machine building, industrial installations, offshore applications, agricultural machinery and a wide variety of technical systems.
Straight silicone hose can also be used in cooling systems for electric vehicles, machinery and technical equipment when the specifications of the selected hose meet the requirements of the application.
Can silicone hose be used for oil and fuel?
Standard silicone hose is not designed for continuous direct contact with petrol or diesel. Applications where oil, fuel or other aggressive fluids are transported directly through the hose require a special version with a suitable inner liner.
Always check which fluid or medium will be transported through the silicone hose. If you are unsure, contact QSP Products for advice on selecting the correct hose for your application.
ROHS and REACH silicone hoses
QSP Products silicone hoses comply with applicable ROHS and REACH requirements. For specific projects, silicone hoses for FDA applications, including applications within the food industry, are also available on request. UL94 V-0 flame-retardant silicone hose versions can also be supplied on request.
Straight silicone hose available from stock
QSP Products keeps approximately 18,000 silicone hoses in stock. This allows us to supply a large proportion of the available types and sizes directly from stock. Straight silicone hose is available in blue and black as standard.
In addition to straight silicone hose, our range includes silicone elbows, reducer hoses, couplers, connecting hoses, vacuum hoses, bellows and silicone T-pieces. Matching aluminium tubes, aluminium bends, connectors and hose clamps are also available.
Custom straight silicone hose
In addition to the standard range, custom silicone hoses and complete hose kits can be manufactured for larger quantities. Specific shapes, sizes and colours can be produced, making this an interesting option for manufacturers, vehicle builders, machine builders and other professional applications.
Custom silicone hose production requires technical drawings and production moulds. Minimum order quantities therefore apply depending on the required design and specification.
