Taukealugs Straight Coupler Silicone Hose 3\" ID x 12\" | 4-Ply 5mm Thick with Stainless Steel T-Clamps

Overview

Taukealugs introduces a robust silicone hose tailored for performance intake systems. This straight coupler is built to support a range of engine setups, offering a 3-inch inner diameter (76 mm) and a 12-inch length (305 mm). Its 4-ply construction with a 5 mm wall provides rigidity and resilience under demanding conditions, while the included stainless steel T-clamps help secure connections with confidence.

Designed for automotive use and versatile enough for other applications, the hose is crafted to withstand harsh environmental factors, maintaining its shape and performance across a broad temperature spectrum. This makes it a practical choice for builders seeking consistency in piping runs from turbochargers to intercoolers and beyond.

Key specifications

• ID: 3" (76 mm); Length: 12" (305 mm); 4-Ply, 5 mm thickness
• UV and ozone resistant for long-term under-hood reliability
• Includes 2 stainless steel T-clamps for secure mounting
• Temperature range: -140°F to 428°F; bursting pressure: 2 MPa
• Widely applicable to various engine connections and custom piping layouts
• Note: Not suitable for fuel or oil transfer

Materials, durability, and performance

The hose combines a multi-layer silicone profile with high resistance to UV light and ozone, helping it resist cracking and color degradation over time. The 4-ply build and 5 mm wall thickness offer a balanced mix of flexibility and strength, reducing the risk of collapse during boost pressure while remaining adaptable for tight routing in engine bays.

With a broad operating temperature range, the hose is designed to handle extreme heat and cold commonly encountered in performance applications. Its capable bursting pressure contributes to a margin of safety when used in high-boost setups, though this product is intended for air intake, turbo, and intercooler piping rather than fuel or oil systems.

Applications and practical use cases

• Custom turbo and supercharger charge piping installations
• Intercooler piping runs where a reliable, heat-tolerant hose is needed
• Universal fit for a variety of vehicles and marine applications requiring robust piping connections

Installation tips and care

Included stainless steel T-clamps simplify mounting and help ensure a secure seal across fluctuating boost pressures. When planning a piping run, verify the hose ID matches your piping and assess clearance within the engine bay. Regular inspection for signs of wear, especially at clamp contact points, can help maintain performance over time.

Important note

This product is not intended for fuel or oil transfer. For best results, pair it with compatible clamps and fittings designed for silicone hose systems.
