Wire reinforced silicone hoses are designed to look and function the same way as a standard silicone hose, but it has 1 big difference. They are manufactured with a steel wire spiral embedded inside the reinforcement plies, allows for a flexibility not possible with most standard straight hoses, and will also take higher pressures compared to standard silicone hoses. Note, as the diameter increases the flexibility of the hose also decreases.

Silicone is a extremely flexible material compared to rubber, with the ability to maintain this flexibility over the lifespan of its use. Under some conditions rubber hoses are at risk of splitting, hardening, or dry rot, which is why silicone hoses are the choice for many trucks, buses, performance cars, and many other vehicle and industrial applications.

Often known as silicone auto flex hose, super flex hose or xtra flex, the steel wire helix buried within the silicone construction allows ultimate flexibility with out wall distortion and minimising airflow blockage. We use a smooth finish so this hose will match the rest of your hose setup perfectly.
