Supplier for high-quality rubber hoses and clamps

Postby sonex1374 » Sun Jun 28, 2020 1:21 pm

Waiex builder Don Bowen pointed me to a supplier of high quality rubber hoses and clamps. This company sells to a lot a racing customers, and their products are top quality. If you are looking for stainless clamps (embossed hose clamps that won't cut into the rubber, fuel injection clamps in just about every imaginable size, t-bar clamps, rubber couplers and sockets for AeroVee intakes, cold air mods or remote filter mounting, pre-bent aluminum tubing pieces, etc), this is the place!

Personally I find the Gates products to be high quality and cost effective.

Use fuel injection style clamps for even clamping pressure and no risk of "pinching".

Remember that a poorly matched hose to spigot, can not be reliably "fixed" by clamping pressure. A well matched hose to spigot should seal without the hose clamp - the clamp providing security rather than sealing.

Using high cost automotive performance hose may look great, provide bragging rights but is unlikely to do any more than empty your wallet quicker.
