Silicone 180 Degree Hose

Silicone 180 Degree Elbow is designed for reliable performance in fluid transfer, air handling, and pneumatic systems where a tight U-shaped connection is required. Constructed from high-grade smooth extruded silicone with multiple polyester braid reinforcements, the elbow provides a balance of flexibility, durability, and thermal stability. The 180° silicone bend supports routing in confined layouts while maintaining consistent flow and reducing the risk of kinking. Wall thickness ranges from 4.5 mm to 5.5 mm depending on size, with 3–4 ply reinforcement for dependable strength. With leg lengths of approximately 100 mm, this silicone elbow offers secure fitment and ease of installation. Operating continuously from -50°C to +250°C, and compliant with SAE J20 R3, the polyester reinforced silicone elbow withstands demanding industrial and automotive environments, delivering long-lasting reliability in medium-pressure applications.

Key Features:

• Material: Smooth extruded silicone compound with polyester braid reinforcement.

• Construction: 180° elbow, smooth bore, 3–4 ply layup (size dependent), each leg ~100 mm.

• Internal Diameter Range: 6.5 mm to 102 mm.

• Wall Thickness: 4.5 mm (smaller sizes) to 5.5 mm (larger sizes).

• Working Pressure: Size-dependent, up to ~12.33 bar.

• Burst Pressure: Minimum 3× working pressure.

• Bending Radius: Size-specific to ensure kink resistance and stable flow.

• Temperature Range: -50°C to +250°C (peak +250°C).

• Standard: SAE J20 R3 compliant.

The silicone 180° elbow hose is engineered with a smooth bore interior that enhances flow efficiency, minimises turbulence, and allows easier cleaning. Multi-ply polyester reinforcement ensures dimensional stability even under pressure or vacuum, while the U-shaped geometry makes it suitable for compact installations requiring a full redirection of flow. The reinforced wall structure improves crush resistance and delivers consistent pressure handling across the available diameters. Resistant to ozone, aging, and environmental stress, the elbow provides dependable service life in demanding conditions. Its inherent flexibility simplifies installation and accommodates vibration and thermal expansion in both static and dynamic systems.

Applications include air and water circulation, pneumatic tool connections, industrial fluid handling, irrigation systems, and compatible light chemical transfer. The polyester reinforced silicone 180-degree elbow is widely used in automotive engine bays, HVAC systems, agricultural machinery, and manufacturing environments. Its heat resistance, medium-pressure rating, and reinforced construction make it a versatile and long-lasting choice for industrial fluid transfer where compact routing and a U-shaped connection are essential.
