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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eID: 3\" (76 mm); Length: 12\" (305 mm); 4-Ply, 5 mm thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUV and ozone resistant for long-term under-hood reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes 2 stainless steel T-clamps for secure mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature range: -140°F to 428°F; bursting pressure: 2 MPa\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidely applicable to various engine connections and custom piping layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNote: Not suitable for fuel or oil transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials, durability, and performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a broad operating temperature range, the hose is designed to handle extreme heat and cold commonly encountered in performance applications.
