Silicone Straight Reducing Hose

Silicone Straight Reducer from AutoSiliconeHoses provides a compact, heat-resistant step-down connection for fluid transfer and pneumatic systems across industrial, commercial, and automotive environments. Manufactured from smooth extruded silicone with integral polyester braid reinforcement, this silicone reducer coupler delivers stable pressure handling and controlled flexibility for reliable, leak-tight joints between mismatched pipework. The polyester reinforced silicone reducer maintains a consistent smooth bore to reduce turbulence and pressure loss, while the 127 mm overall length aids secure clamping and hose tail engagement. Suitable for air, water, and compatible media, the reducer operates from -50°C to +250°C and conforms to SAE J20 R3 for general-purpose silicone hose. Available in an extensive internal diameter range, silicone straight reducer tubing supports medium-pressure duties where durability, thermal stability, and long service life are essential.

Key Features:

• Burst Pressure: Minimum 3× working pressure.

• Reinforcement: 3–4 plies (3-ply smaller sizes; 4-ply larger sizes).

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

• Standard: SAE J20 R3 compliant.

Built for demanding service, the AutoSiliconeHoses silicone straight reducer uses a multi-ply polyester braid lay-up to stabilise the tube under pressure and vacuum while controlling expansion for predictable performance. The smooth-bore silicone lining promotes efficient flow and reduces energy loss in medium-pressure lines, supporting stable throughput in pneumatic, cooling, and industrial fluid handling circuits. Precision-moulded geometry and consistent wall thickness improve clamp load distribution, helping maintain seal integrity under vibration and thermal cycling. Silicone’s inherent resistance to heat, ozone, and aging extends service life in engine bays and plant environments, while balanced flexibility simplifies installation and accommodates minor misalignment without kinking. The step-down configuration allows clean transitions between different pipe diameters, minimising turbulence and aiding compact layout of assemblies in confined spaces.

Typical applications include air intake and charge-air connections, coolant return and bypass lines, irrigation and water transfer manifolds, and light chemical service where material compatibility is observed. In manufacturing and MRO, polyester reinforced PVC-free silicone reducer tubing supports pneumatic tools, compressors, and process equipment requiring reliable medium-pressure hose couplings. Common industries encompass automotive engineering, agriculture, HVAC maintenance, general fabrication, and industrial fluid handling. By combining heat resistance, dimensional stability, and robust multi-ply reinforcement, AutoSiliconeHoses silicone straight reducer provides a durable, space-efficient connection for step-down transitions across diverse industrial applications.
