In a previous blog, we shared that custom silicone hoses and accessories can be useful in the following cases:

• In prototypes and novel designs
• In environments with temperatures between 350 and 500 degrees Fahrenheit
• When oils, fuels, and corrosive fluids are involved

We also went over some of the specific ways that we can customize our silicone hose products. They include:

• User-specified 3D shapes, with about 2,000 designs possible
• Integrated heat shields, so hoses can be safely placed by heat sources
• Radial features, adding rings and humps for accurate positioning
• Chemical-resistant liners, for compatibility with oils, fuels, and chemicals

In today’s blog, we’ll go over additional customizations Flex Tech can do for you!

Step Down And Step Up Connectors

These specialized connectors assure the right fit every time. They come in handy when connecting pipe work with different outside diameters. Our connectors have resolved potential issues and provided affordable, quick solutions for a lot of our customers.

Branch “T” Connectors

Whether you call them branch connectors or T connectors, they are the same thing, and they are extremely useful in coolant and air systems. They enable the integration of pressure or temperature sensors, making them very handy.

Flanged End Fittings

These fittings are necessary when using silicone hoses in applications that require extremely high pressures, as in turbo scenarios. Flanged end fittings are also called integrated V band connections; they are clampless connections for faster, easier OEM assembly.

Controlled Axial Flexibility

By being able to integrate features such as humps and rings, we can achieve more axial and radial flexibility for your silicone hose products. Installation becomes easier, with well-aligned ends.

Other Possible Customizations

While these are some of the most popular types of customizations that we do, they are not the only ones. If you need a custom solution that you don’t see covered here, contact our technical support teams. We have the experience and expertise to devise just the right solutions you need for your specific application.
