BOOST Products’ USA Silicone Hoses: Hoses that Work as Hard as Your Engine Does
Don’t trust the integrity of your high-performance engine to just any off-the-shelf rubber or silicone hose. Inspired by aviation manufacturing, BOOST Products’ USA Silicone Hoses are reinforced with multiple fabric layers, giving them extreme pressure resistance and high-temperature durability for unmatched reliability. An added benefit of a silicone hose is that it remains durable, flexible, and color-proof over the course of many years of service.
Another way BOOST one-ups their rivals is with their testing process. Unlike competitors’ hoses that are built to lower standards, BOOST goes above and beyond to document their quality by batch-testing every lot they make. Each hose has a printed QR code on the hose itself, which is linked to a verified performance report of the production batch so it can be traced back to its test data, confirming it surpassed BOOST’s rigorous testing standards before it was shipped. That should give you plenty of peace of mind that your engine will be protected.
BOOST Products’ USA Silicone Hoses can withstand up to 5 bar pressure and temperatures up to 428° F (220° C), depending on the diameters. This prevents unwanted leaks and blowouts in heavily modified and racing applications. They’re the perfect choice for air intake systems, coolant lines, intercooler connections, and more.
Silicone Couplers are for applications where the part connections may have some amount of misalignment, require different sizes on each end, or both. They come in 30 inlet and outlet sizes ranging from .31 to 5.5 inches I.D. in your choice of straight, 45°, 90°, 135°, and 180° shapes. T-coupler versions are also available that come with the same size inlet and outlet diameters but also have a 1-inch I.D. branch tee for splitting or joining airflow or fluid paths.
Silicone Hump Couplers are designed with a hump in the middle, which allows for engine movement, vibration, and slight misalignment of the tubing ends to maintain solid connections during use. They are available in ten inlet and outlet sizes ranging from 1 3/4 to 4 inches I.D.
Cobra Head Silicone Elbows are designed for making extremely tight 90-degree connections on low-clearance intake and turbo setups where space constraints prevent using standard or hump couplers. Their unique flared design maintains superior airflow without creating power-robbing turbulence. You can get them in four inlet and outlet sizes ranging from 2 1/2 to 4 inches I.D.
Silicone Coolant Caps are for capping off radiator pipes, tubing, intake systems, coolant lines, etc. to keep foreign debris from entering the systems when an engine and/or parts have been removed. They also do a bang-up job of keeping corrosion at bay when parts are disconnected for extended periods. You can get them in eight sizes ranging from 3/8 to 1 1/2 inches I.D.
Summit Racing also carries BOOST Products’ USA Silicone Vacuum Hose. It is available in two versions:
Standard Vacuum Hose is best for general, low-pressure, or vacuum-only applications where high heat resistance is needed. It can withstand up to 1 bar (14.5 psi) of pressure and is available in six sizes ranging from 3mm to 9.5mm I.D.
Reinforced Vacuum Hose has an inner textile layer for added strength and so consistent flow can be maintained in applications where pressure fluctuations are constant. The wall thickness is 3.5mm. It withstands up to 5+ bar (70+ psi) and is available in four diameters ranging from 4mm to 10mm I.D.
Both types of vacuum hose can withstand up to 430° F (220 C). They are available in 3-, 9-, 15-, and 50-foot-long rolls.
All BOOST Products’ USA hose, couplers, elbows, and coolant caps are available in your choice of blue or black.
