Construction & Design:

The PPE Upper Coolant Hose Kit is engineered using premium silicone rubber that is both flexible and robust. The 4-ply construction provides multiple layers of reinforcement, enhancing resistance to heat, pressure, and abrasion. This thickness and layering help prevent hose swelling, cracking, or collapsing over time, common issues with standard rubber hoses.

The included worm drive clamps feature a unique W-style inner liner that evenly distributes clamping force around the hose circumference, ensuring a tight, leak-free seal. Crafted from stainless steel, these clamps resist corrosion and chemical degradation, maintaining their clamping strength and appearance for the long haul.

No cutting, trimming, or additional modifications are necessary, making it a convenient upgrade for DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics alike. Simply remove the old hose and clamps, install the new silicone hose, and secure it with the supplied stainless steel clamps for a reliable, leak-free connection.
